About this map

White River and its southern tributaries, including Small Branch and Mount Pleasant Branch, define the lower reaches of this Delaware County landscape. The settlement of Daleville sits near the river's curve, while Yorktown occupies the eastern edge where York Prairie Creek meets the larger waterway. This 2010 survey illustrates a region shaped by agricultural drainage and family heritage, evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds such as Hawk Cemetery and Jones Cemetery scattered among the township sections.

Water management is central to the area's development, seen in named diversions like Gehring and Gumz Ditch and the many branches of Killbuck Creek, including Moon Branch and Little Killbuck Creek. Small rural clusters like Moonville and Reed Station punctuate the grid of county roads, connected by historic thoroughfares such as Jackson Street Pike. The map provides a detailed view of these rural communities as they transitioned into the early 21st century.
