About this map

The Wabash River and Eel River define the hydraulic character of this northern Indiana landscape, where small hamlets like Twelve Mile and New Waverly are connected by a dense grid of county roads. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive network of named drainage systems, including Ulerich Ditch, Brower Ditch, and Williams Ditch, reflecting the agricultural development of Miami and Cass counties.

Genealogists will find numerous small burial grounds and landmarks, from the Eel River Chapel Cemetery to the Koontz Cemetery near Hoover. The southern portion of the map transition from rural farmland to the industrial and transportation infrastructure of the Wabash River valley, featuring the Peru Municipal Airport and the park-like grounds of Ever Rest Memorial Gardens. Other significant watercourses such as Twelve Mile Creek and Goose Creek underscore the area's intricate drainage patterns essential for the local farming economy.
