About this map

The Greenville Treaty Line bisects this agricultural landscape, marking a significant historical boundary between the Congress Lands and the Miami River Survey. The village of Jackson Center serves as the primary hub, situated along the Detroit Toledo and Ironton railroad. This rail line cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, connecting the village to surrounding farming communities like Montra and Maplewood.

Several smaller landmarks provide evidence of the area's rural development and genealogy, including St Jacobs Ch and a network of family-named cemeteries such as McCord Cem and Hodge Cem. The drainage pattern is defined by several waterways, including Muchinippi Creek and Pusheta Creek, while the Old Indian Treaty Boundary in the northeast corner further reflects the era of early land division and surveying that shaped Shelby County.
