About this map

The State Line between Indiana and Ohio defines the character of this borderland landscape, where rural townships like Harrison and Dixon intersect. Transport and logistics are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad running through Witts Station and the sprawling grounds of the Richmond Municipal Airport in the north.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of country landmarks, from the Dixon-Israel Township Sch to several historic congregations like Concord Ch and Sugar Grove Ch. Small rural hubs such as Fairhaven and Kitchel are connected by well-established paths like Allison Mill Road and Goodwins Corner Road. The drainage patterns of Little Four Mile Creek and Toney Creek shaped the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries, including the Railsback Cem and Pentecost Cem.
