About this map

The town of Mason serves as a central hub on this 2016 survey, situated near the boundary line of Tipton Co and Fayette Co. This landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including the Little Beaver Cr Canal, Middle Beaver Cr Canal, and Beaver Cr Canal, which drain the low-lying Baxter Bottom for agricultural use.

Smaller rural communities like Braden, Gainesville, Canaan Grove, and Charleston are scattered across the quadrangle, each anchored by local landmarks. The map is a significant resource for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial sites such as Cedar Hill Cem, Beech Chapel Cem, and Saint Paul Cem. These cemeteries, often paired with namesake churches like Douglas Chapel Cem, reflect the long-standing family settlements that have shaped the rural character of this region between the Beaver Creek tributaries.
