2019 Map of Maples

About this map

New Haven anchors the northwestern corner of this eastern Indiana landscape, where the Maumee River winds through a dense network of agricultural drainage systems. The survey reveals a region defined by its managed water, including Lomont Ditch, Popitz Ditch, and Rushart Ditch, which support the fertile farmstead plots typical of Allen County. Small rural hubs such as Maples, Zulu, and Tillman are interconnected by a rigid grid of country roads, while the presence of Emanuel Cem and family-named waterways like Yoquelet Ditch provide valuable points of reference for genealogists tracking local heritage. An interesting shift in land use is visible at the Casad Industrial Park Airport, contrasting with the more recreational Heritage Snowmobile Trail that cuts through the southern fields. The area's aviation history is further represented by Valhalla Airport near the southwestern corner, reflecting the integration of private airfields into the traditional agrarian environment.
