About this map

The Great Miami River anchors the landscape of this Shelby County region, flowing through the heart of Sidney where it is joined by local tributaries like Starrett Run and Wells Creek. By 2010, the urban development of the city is well-defined, reaching north into Buckeye Terrace and surrounded by a network of rural settlements such as Hardin, Newbern, and Swanders. This survey provides a clear view of the area's civil and social infrastructure, from the Shelby County Fairgrounds to the Sidney Water Works near Tawawa Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of burial sites documented across the quadrangle. Many family-named and historic locations are preserved, including the Old Saint James Cemetery, Pearl Cemetery, and McClure Cemetery. The western edges of the map transition into an agricultural grid defined by drainage features like Kiser Ditch and the various branches of Turtle Creek, illustrating the managed hydrology that supports the county's farmland.
