About this map

Gettysburg and the surrounding farmland of western Ohio are defined by a network of drainage ways and small rural centers. The terrain is etched by the meandering course of Greenville Creek, which flows eastward past local landmarks like Cromer Cem and Greenville Creek Cem. This area reflects a stable agricultural pattern where small crossroads and hamlets such as Union Corners, Red River, and Painter Creek served as focal points for the farming community.

A transition in county lines is marked by the border between Darke Co and Miami Co, running north-south through the center of the survey. Transportation is dominated by a grid of township and county roads, including US Rte 36 and Old US Rte 36, which trace the historical movement of goods and people. Unique local features, such as the Field of Dreams Airport and several family or community burial grounds like Newcomers Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of these rural townships.
