About this map

The Mercer Co Darke Co line bisects this Western Ohio landscape, where agricultural tradition and small-town settlement patterns define the region's character. The area is dotted with several distinct communities, including the villages of Rossburg, Burkettsville, and New Weston, which serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. A particularly high density of rural burial grounds, such as Fairview Cem, Zerby Cem, and Webster Cem, offers significant detail for genealogists tracing family roots through the townships.

Waterways like the Wabash River and the Mississinewa River wind through the terrain, accompanied by smaller tributaries such as Threemile Cr and the N Fork Stillwater River. This network of creeks and ditches, including Ward Ditch, illustrates the intensive drainage management required for the region's productive farmland. The presence of both the Old Rose Hill Cem and New Rose Hill Cem near the community of Rose Hill provides a clear view of the area's development over time.
