2018 Map of Mount Erie

About this map

Mount Erie sits at the heart of this landscape, surrounded by the alluvial bottomlands of the Little Wabash River. This area is characterized by its complex drainage network, where natural features like Goose Pond, Old River Lake, and the sharp bend at Totten Bend meet human engineered systems such as the Cross Diversion Ditch and Clear Pond Ditch. The map details a dispersed rural settlement pattern anchored by small clusters like Wynoose and Bennington. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and resting places, including Gallagher Cem, Moutray Cem, and Scott Cem. Along the river’s edge, Rutgers Bluff rises as a distinct topographical feature, while the Dorsey Bridge provides a vital crossing point in the southeastern corner. The grid of county roads, such as Co RD 1850n and Co RD 2200n, reveals the structured agricultural layout of Wayne County.
