About this map

Miller City and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Putnam County are defined by a strictly surveyed grid of section lines and drainage systems. The New York Chicago and St Louis railroad cuts a diagonal path through the northwest, connecting the small settlements of Hector and Kieferville. To the south, the Blanchard River meanders across the terrain, its course flanked by localized landmarks including the Varner Cem and Myers Cem.

This era reveals a rural community supported by local infrastructure, from the Townhall in Greensburg to the Claypit near the center of the sheet. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of country congregations like Forest Grove Ch and Mount Pleasant Ch, alongside the County Sch. Small, named hamlets such as Cuba, Dorninton, and Avis appear as concentrated clusters of activity within the broader township boundaries of Greensburg and Perry.
