About this map

The Mississinewa River cuts through the heart of this Indiana landscape, following the historic Indian Treaty Boundary that segments the townships of Franklin and Ward. The settlement of Ridgeville serves as a local hub at the junction of the Pennsylvania railroad and several regional waterways. This 1960s-era record reveals a highly organized rural infrastructure, dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds such as Flesher Cem, Wentz Cem, and the Odd Fellows Cem. Local centers of faith and education, including Pleasant Vale Ch and the Township Sch near New Mt Pleasant, anchor the agricultural community. The map also documents the industrial presence of several Gas Wells and Quarries, illustrating the intersection of natural resources and established settlement patterns along the Jay and Randolph County line.
