About this map

The county seat of Maysville serves as the focal point for this DeKalb County survey, where the township grid system divides the rural landscape into the territories of Grant, Dallas, Camden, and Adams. The drainage pattern is defined by the Middle Fork and East Fork of the Grand River, creating a network of winding tributaries like Lost Creek and Noll Branch. A notable vestige of earlier transportation is the Old Railroad Grade traversing the southern portion of the quadrangle, signaling a shift from rail-based commerce to the modern road network.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous small burial grounds and landmarks. Scattered through the farming country are the Greenridge Cem, Norwegian Cem, and the uniquely named Schambaugh-Cope Cem. The small settlement of Fairport sits at the northern edge, while the Oak Lawn Cem marks the outskirts of the primary township. Rural community life is further evidenced by the Hopewell Ch and Bethel Cem located in the eastern hills.
