About this map

Ossian serves as a southern anchor in this Northeast Indiana landscape, where the town's grid meets the headwaters of Eightmile Cr. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage engineering, including the Allen Mellot Ditch, Johnson Ditch, and Deptmer Ditch, which support the agricultural productivity of the Allen and Wells county line. Further north, the expansive footprint of the Fort Wayne International Airport marks the transition toward the urban perimeter of Fort Wayne.

Genealogists and local researchers can identify rural landmarks such as Fogwell Cem and Brenton Chapel Cem, alongside smaller settlements like Yoder and Nine Mile. The map highlights the intersection of modern infrastructure and older land divisions, featuring Moser Lake and the complex web of country roads such as W Ferguson Rd and Lafayette Center Rd that navigate the varied watercourses and township lines.
