About this map

The Wabash River meanders across the state line between Indiana and Ohio, anchoring a rural landscape defined by agricultural drainage systems and small crossroad settlements. These drainage features, including Brewster Ditch, Goss Switzer Ditch, and Schermer Ditch, are critical to the local geography, illustrating the transformation of the region's wetlands into productive farmland. Small communities like New Corydon, Jay City, and Trinity dot the Indiana side, while Skeels Crossroads and Padua serve as landmarks in the Ohio territory.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds throughout this survey. Sites such as Lufborrow Cem, Kessler Cem, and the Saint Anthony Catholic Cem near Padua reflect the heritage of the early settlers who established these townships. The map also traces the Indiana-Ohio state line, revealing how the road network, including the Ohio Indiana State Line Rd, was built to follow political boundaries.
