About this map

South Grand River and Big Creek converge in this western Henry County landscape, where the small agricultural centers of Urich and Hartwell anchor the local road network. The terrain is defined by a complex system of drainage, with Willow Branch, Ford Branch, and Honey Creek feeding into the larger river valley. These waterways historically dictated the placement of early settlements and rural infrastructure, visible here in the distribution of family-centered landmarks.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the rural burial grounds scattered across the township, including Salem Cemetery, Norris Cemetery, and Morgan Cemetery. The map also preserves the location of the Enterprise School, a marker of the area's educational heritage. To the north, the settlement of Maurine sits near the upper reaches of the creek system, while Kerns Lake provides a notable hydrologic feature in an otherwise river-dominated corridor.
