2016 Map of Plain City

About this map

Plain City sits at the junction of the Union and Madison county lines, serving as a historic hub where the Big Darby Creek and Sugar Run converge. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate network of agricultural drainage that defines the surrounding landscape, including the Worthington Ditch, Eli Jones Ditch, and Yutzy Ditch. These waterways underscore the region's long-standing commitment to land reclamation for farming, a practice that has shaped the central Ohio terrain for generations. For local historians and genealogists, the map is particularly rich in cemetery data, documenting numerous family and township burial grounds scattered across the countryside. From the centrally located Darby Township Cemetery to the more outlying Converse-Huff Cemetery and Smith Cemetery, the distribution of these sites reflects the early settlement patterns and family farmsteads established near the small village of Amity.
