About this map

Henderson serves as the central hub for this section of York and Hamilton counties, defined by a strictly organized section-line road network and the winding path of Beaver Cr. The landscape is a testament to the region's deep-rooted agrarian and religious heritage, with numerous family and denominational burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the Mennonite Brethren Cem, Bethesda Cem, Friesen Cem, and Ebenezer Cem.

Water management is prominent in the southern townships, where man-made catchments like Bergen Reservoir and Friesen Reservoir dot the plains. Aviation history is also represented in the southwest quadrant by the presence of both the Boardman Airfield and the Boardman Aerial Airport. The map captures a moment when the rural infrastructure, from the small-town streets of Oak St to the remote reaches of RD 13, supported a thriving community built on the prairie.
