2022 Map of Liberty Center

About this map

Liberty Center and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Wells and Huntington counties are defined by a complex network of man-made waterways. This grid of drainage ditches, including Mossburg Ditch, Merriman Ditch, and Lucky Ditch, reflects the systematic transformation of the local terrain for intensive farming. Small rural settlements like Buckeye and Mount Zion anchor the intersections of straight country roads, while the Salamonie River cuts through the southwestern corner near Batson Cem. Family and local history are preserved in several burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Thompson Cem and Jones Cem. The map illustrates the persistent structure of the Public Land Survey System, with section lines and township boundaries like t26n r10e guiding the placement of every farmstead and airfield, such as Miller Airport near the eastern edge.
