1971 Map of Mount Erie
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Little Wabash River meanders across this rural landscape, defining the boundaries where Wayne, Richland, and Edwards Counties converge. The village of Mount Erie serves as the primary upland settlement, flanked by numerous family burial grounds including Crews Cem, Scott Cem, and Moutray Cem. This 1970s aerial survey reveals an environment shaped by water management, where the West Side Diversion Ditch and Maple Grove Diversion Ditch cut through the bottomlands to control the flow of the Calhoun Fork River. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Forest Ridge Ch, the rural school at Seminary, and the community of Wynoose. The map documents a transition in land use, showing scattered oil wells interspersed with agricultural fields and winding sloughs like Moutray Slough and Goose Pond.
