About this map

The Mississinewa River winds through the southern half of this landscape, anchoring the town of Ridgeville and its surrounding agricultural terrain. This area of eastern Indiana is defined by a dense grid of township roads and a complex network of named waterways and artificial drainage, including Mendenhall Ditch and De Armond Ditch, which support the intensive farming character of the region.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites across the township, ranging from the Ridgeview Odd Fellows Cem near the river to the family-named Flesher Cem and Finch Cem. Small settlements like New Mount Pleasant and Powers mark the crossings of rural routes, while the northern border captures the transition from Jay into Randolph County. The map provides a detailed view of these rural communities as they appeared in the early 21st century.
