About this map

Mount Erie anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, situated at the junction of Miller Cr and Newton Br. The landscape is dominated by the meandering course of the Little Wabash River, which creates complex hydrological patterns including Moutray Slough, Goose Pond, and Old River Lake. Distinctive geographical features like Totten Bend and Rutgers Bluff illustrate the winding path of the river as it flows through the southeastern portion of Wayne County.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial grounds scattered across the township lines of Richland, Wayne, and Edwards counties. These include Gallagher Cem, Johnson Cem, Scott Cem, and Traverse Cem. Smaller communities and crossroads like Wynoose, Seminary, and Bennington serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural landscape, connected by a network of rural roads such as N Wynoose Rd and E Edwards Ln.
