About this map

Gas City and Jonesboro dominate the northwest corner of this Grant County landscape, where the Mississinewa River winds through a network of small agricultural communities. The river valley is a central corridor, joined by tributaries such as Shell Run, Ethel Run, and Octagon Cr. The map reveals a highly structured grid of county roads, including historical routes like Muncie Pike and Wheeling Pike, which connect the larger towns to smaller settlements like Fowlerton and Matthews.

Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial grounds, including Walnut Creek Cem and Riverside Cem near the primary population centers, as well as the more isolated Bethel Cem and Jefferson Cem. The drainage patterns, defined by features like the Fowler Ditch and Upland Drain, illustrate the extensive efforts to manage the land for farming between the populated hubs of Upland and the river banks.
