About this map

Portland serves as the central hub for this corner of Jay County, where the Salamonie River and the Little Salamonie River converge. The landscape is defined by a dense network of agricultural drainage, evidenced by numerous named waterways like Stroube Ditch and Cartwright Ditch that feed into the river systems. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern footprint of several distinct rural settlements and housing clusters, including Liber, College Corner, and the Osterholt Farms area south of the city limits.

Industrial and transportation infrastructure is concentrated along the northern edge of the city, including the Portland Municipal Airport and Industrial Park Rd. Small historic place names like Antiville and Pleasant Ridge remain marked along the northern highway corridor, while family-named features such as McKinsey Ditch and Houte Ditch reflect long-standing property lines and drainage rights throughout the surrounding farmland.
