About this map

Maysville serves as the primary settlement center of this DeKalb County landscape, where the local street grid including E Sheridan St and Kennedy Dr meets rural routes. The surrounding terrain is defined by the branching drainages of Lost Cr and its tributaries, such as Middle Fork Lost Cr and Peach Cr, which carve a rolling pattern through the agricultural countryside. North of the county seat, the small community of Fairport sits along State Hwy E, marking another focal point for local history.

Genealogists will find this map particularly valuable for its high density of family and community burial sites. Small, secluded plots like Irwin Cem, Thomas Cem, and Shambaugh-Cope Cem are scattered across the townships, often located well away from modern main roads. These sites, alongside larger grounds like Oak Lawn Cem, preserve the names of the early families who established these farmsteads between the creek forks.
