2019 Map of Fort Recovery

About this map

The Ohio Indiana state line bisects this landscape, separating the village of Fort Recovery from its neighboring communities in Jay and Mercer counties. This survey reflects a deeply established agricultural and drainage network, where natural watercourses like the Wabash River and Salamonie River are supplemented by man-made channels such as Grissom Ditch and Young Ditch. Local history is anchored by numerous burial grounds, including the Old Pioneer Cem and Green Mound Cem near the town center, and the isolated Pisgah Cem further south. The straight trajectory of Treaty Line Rd and Ohio Indiana State Line Rd underscores the structured rectilinear surveying of the region. Small settlements like Salamonia, Macedon, and Monterey remain connected by a dense grid of rural roads, tracing the persistence of 19th-century settlement patterns into the modern era.
