2010 Map of Rossburg

About this map

Eldora Speedway stands as a prominent cultural landmark in this agricultural landscape along the border of Darke and Mercer counties. The region is defined by a dense network of small rural settlements including Rossburg, Burkettsville, New Weston, and Sharpsburg, many of which maintain their own community services such as the Rossburg Post Office and Burkettsville Post Office. The terrain is characterized by a complex hydrographic system where the headwaters of the Wabash River and the Mississinewa River nearly meet, flowing alongside numerous drainage systems like Ward Ditch. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, locating several family and denominational burial sites including Zerby Cemetery, Webster Cemetery, and the Saint Pauls Catholic Cemetery. This intersection of religious heritage, local commerce at Hiestand Community Hall, and the enduring importance of the river forks illustrates the persistent rural structure of Western Ohio.
