About this map

The Saint Joseph River winds through the northwest corner of this landscape, anchoring a rural territory where the state lines of Indiana and Ohio meet. In the eastern portion of the map, the town of Hicksville serves as a local hub, featuring a dense grid of streets, the Defiance County Fairgrounds, and several industrial sites. The surrounding countryside is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and drainage ditches, such as Walker Ditch and Sol Shank Ditch, which support the agricultural productivity of the region.

Smaller community centers like Orangeville and Newville Center are documented alongside numerous family and community burial grounds, including Riverside Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Wartenbe Cem. Local aviation is well-represented by several small landing strips, including Keener Field Airport, Hook Field Airport, and Howensting Airport, reflecting the importance of private flight in this tri-state borderland area during the early 21st century.
