About this map

Nyona Lake and South Mud Lake sit at the heart of this North-Central Indiana landscape, where the borders of Fulton, Miami, and Cass counties converge. The drainage of the till plain is evident in the intricate network of channelized waterways like Fouts Ditch and Smith Ditch that feed into Mud Creek. Smaller hamlets like Macy and Perrysburg anchor the southern and eastern portions of the map, connected by a rigid grid of numbered county roads such as 1200 North Road.

Genealogists will find several burial sites and houses of worship scattered across the townships, including the Mud Lake Chapel and the Five Corners Cem near the Miami County line. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous small depressions across Liberty and Allen townships reflect the glacial legacy of the region, while the headwaters of Twelve Mile Creek and Weekaw Creek suggest the transition toward the Wabash River watershed to the south.
