About this map

Lake Loramie and its cluster of islands, including Earls Island and Blackberry Island, anchor the northern reaches of this Shelby County landscape. The drainage network is heavily modified for agriculture, characterized by straightened watercourses like Webner Ditch, Ellerman Ditch, and Gaier Ditch that cut across the section lines. This rural infrastructure supports a series of small, long-established communities such as Fort Loramie, Houston, and Saint Patrick.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites across the township, from the Saint Michael Cemetery and Old Saint Michaels Cemetery near the western edge to the Angel Street Cemetery and Wright Cemetery further south. The map documents the persistent settlement patterns of the region, where tiny hamlets like Uno and Oran remain connected by a grid of family-named roads such as Schmitmeyer Baker Rd and Wright Puthoff Rd. The southern portion is defined by the winding course of Loramie Creek and the recreational grounds of Camp Evergreen near Lake Evergreen.
