About this map

Greenville Creek meanders through the northern section of this territory, where the village of Gettysburg serves as a primary hub during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by a dense network of rural roads such as Gettysburg Road and Hogpath Road, connecting small farming communities and religious centers. Scattered throughout the townships of Adams, Newberry, and Franklin are several country churches including Greenville Creek Ch, Painter Creek Ch, and the German Ch.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and local infrastructure is visible in landmarks like the Franklin Sch, several Gravel Pits, and small clusters of homes at Union Corners, Red River, and Muddy Corners. The topography is generally level with subtle features such as Circle Hill and drainage ways like Panther Creek and Canyon Run. This survey offers a detailed view of Darke and Miami counties before significant modern expansion, preserving the locations of family-named cemeteries like Deeter Cem and Bradford Cem.
