The Mississinewa River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring the town of Ridgeville and its surrounding rural townships. This region at the Jay and Randolph County line is defined by an intricate network of agricultural drainage systems, including Mendenhall Ditch, Miller Ditch, and Heuss Ditch, which support the fertile farmland surrounding the small settlements of Powers, New Mount Pleasant, and Collett. Local history and genealogy are particularly well-represented through numerous burial grounds such as Odd Fellows Cem, Riverside Cem, and the Veterans Cem. The map reveals a strictly gridded road system, typical of Indiana's township and range surveying, providing access to isolated landmarks like the Flower Point Cem and Wentz Cem tucked away near Best Run and Flesher Cr.
