About this map

The St Joseph River meanders across the state line between Indiana and Ohio, defining the rural character of this borderland during the mid-20th century. The settlement of Hicksville serves as a local hub, featuring a concentration of urban infrastructure including the County Fairgrounds, a Sewage Disposal plant, and the vital tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. This industrial and transportation corridor contrasts with the surrounding agricultural townships like Newville and Milford, where smaller communities such as Orangeville and Coburn Corners are anchored by local landmarks like Coburn Corners Ch.
