About this map

Fletcher stands at the heart of this agricultural landscape in eastern Miami County, where the regular geometry of Ohio's township and range system is intersected by a network of rural routes and winding waterways. The village of Lena and the community of Conover sit further east, while Plattsville and Ballou occupy the northern reaches. This terrain is defined by the branching paths of Leatherwood Cr, Mosquito Cr, and Spring Cr, which carved modest valleys through the surrounding farmland.

For family historians, the area is rich with small, localized burial grounds like the Sturm Cem, Neal Cem, and the Fletcher Presbyterian Churchyard Cem. The map reveals the intricate border politics of the region, specifically where the boundaries for Shelby, Champaign, and Miami Counties converge. These jurisdictional lines, often following roads like the Champaign-Logan-Shelby Rd, shaped the local administration and census records of the surrounding farming families.
