About this map

Lime City serves as a central point in this rural landscape within Sugar Creek and Rochester townships. The map reflects a mid-century agricultural community anchored by numerous rural institutions, many of which appear in the process of transition. The presence of Bolton School (Abandoned) and Union School (Abandoned) highlights the consolidation of local education, while active sites like Pleasant Hill School and Sharon Independent School remain.

Religious life is well-documented through South Bethel Church, Sugar Creek Church, and Trinity Church, each serving distinct neighborhoods defined by the drainage of Sugar Creek and its tributaries. The landscape is marked by historical family and community burial grounds, including Center Ross Cemetery and Whitmer Cemetery. Later infrastructure updates are noted by revisions in purple, showing the development of 80 and its associated Rest Area, which cut a modern path through the established farmstead grid.
