About this map

The Huntington Co Wells Co line bisects this agricultural landscape, where the Salamonie River cuts through the southwestern corner near Mt Zion. The topography is defined by the drainage patterns of Rock Creek and a network of named ditches, supporting a rural economy tied to small settlements and crossroads communities. Liberty Center serves as the primary hub, anchored by the Liberty Center Sch and South Liberty Ch.

Genealogists will find significant value in the family-named landmarks and local burial sites, such as Mossburg Cem and Thompson Cem. The transport network includes the historic St Louis and Chicago Road, which connects the scattered hamlets of Buckeye and Boehmer Ch. This map documents the rural character of Wells and Huntington counties before the widespread consolidation of smaller community institutions.
