About this map

The town of Odon serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated in the northwestern corner of a region defined by agricultural plots, woodlots, and scattered Oil Wells. The terrain transitions from the relatively level plains of Madison and Van Buren townships toward the more dissected ridges and valleys of Perry township to the east. A significant portion of the eastern map is occupied by the restricted grounds of the Naval Weapons Support Center, which encompasses the village of Burns City and the rugged Pigeon Ridge.

Transport and community life are well-documented through the path of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad and numerous rural institutions. Genealogists can locate family landmarks such as Walnut Hill Cem, Kilgore Cem, and St Joseph Cem. Smaller settlements like Raglesville and Bramble are anchored by local landmarks including Township Sch and St Josephs Ch, while the drainage of First Creek and Prairie Creek dictates the low-lying patterns of the local watershed.
