About this map

The Wabash River meanders across the state line between Indiana and Ohio, anchoring a landscape defined by its agricultural heritage and early rural settlements. This 2019 survey captures the quiet topography where Jay County meets Mercer and Adams Counties. Along the river, the adjacent communities of Jay City and New Corydon serve as focal points for a network of straight-line section roads like E 900 N and E 1200 S-1.

Significant genealogical markers are found throughout the area, including State Line Cem and Liberty Cem. The settlement at Skeels Crossroads and the southern hamlet of Padua, home to the Saint Anthony Catholic Cem, illustrate the persisting small-scale community structures of the region. Drainage features such as Brewster Ditch and Limberlost Cr underscore the long-standing efforts to manage the low-lying terrain for farming.
