About this map

New Madison serves as the primary hub in this agricultural landscape of western Ohio, situated along the E Fork Whitewater River. The area is densely patterned with family legacies, seen in the numerous burial grounds like Greenmound Cem, Harter Cem, and the Old Castine Cem near the eastern border. These sites, along with the First Universalist Ch, provide essential coordinates for genealogical research in Darke and Preble counties.

Water management is central to the land's utility, with the Lake Br Ditch and the W Br Greenville Cr draining the northern plains while the Hills of Judea provide a rare variation in elevation to the north. Smaller communities like Savona, Eldorado, and Hamburg punctuate the grid of township roads, many named for local families such as Ritenour Rd and Paul McKee Rd. The map also preserves the locations of established agricultural operations like Ritzy Farm and Sullenbarger Farms, reflecting the region's enduring farming character.
