About this map

The Wabash River and Salamonie River headwaters define the drainage of this cross-border landscape between Jay County, Indiana, and Mercer County, Ohio. The town of Fort Recovery serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a high density of burial grounds including Old Pioneer Cem, Green Mound Cem, and Saint Mary Cem. The terrain is marked by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure like McLaughlin Ditch, Hartzell Ditch, and Buck Harburg Ditch, which supports the agricultural character of the region.

Rural settlements such as Macedon, Monterey, and Salamonia are connected by a grid of local roads like Ohio Indiana State Line Rd. The presence of the Upper Wabash Number Three Pond and numerous small runs, such as Butte Run and Toti Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology near the state line. This survey captures a highly organized landscape where historic cemeteries and small-town plats sit amidst a carefully managed watershed.
