1908 Map of St. Henry

About this map

St Henry and the surrounding townships of Mercer and Darke counties define this agrarian landscape at the dawn of the twentieth century. The topography is shaped by significant water systems, including the headwaters of the Wabash River and Mississinewa River, alongside engineered drainages like Darlinghaus Ditch and Vandenbush Ditch. In the north, the shoreline of Grand Lake reaches toward Monte Zuma, while the Treaty Line and Boundary Line cut across the grid of section lines, reflecting early Ohio land divisions.
