About this map

New Paris and the eastern edge of Richmond anchor this modern topographical survey of the Indiana-Ohio border. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several critical drainages, including the East Fork-Whitewater River, Elkhorn Creek, and Four Mile Creek, which carve through the till plains of Wayne and Preble counties. The transition from industrial and municipal zones to agricultural land is evidenced by landmarks such as the Richmond Municipal Airport and the Middle-Fork Reservoir.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burying grounds, including Ridge Cem, Wernle Home Cem, and the State Line Cem, situated directly on the state boundary. The transportation network is a mix of ancient corridors like the National Rd and modern infrastructure like Gravel Pit Rd, reflecting the region's long-standing role as a crossroads between the Midwest's growing urban centers and its productive rural interior.
