About this map

Union City serves as the focal point of this 2010 survey, straddling the border between Indiana and Ohio with a grid that reflects its dual-state identity. The landscape is defined by the convergence of agricultural drainage and natural waterways, including the Little Mississinewa River and Dismal Creek, which wind through the surrounding farmland. Smaller hamlets and rural junctions like New Lisbon, South Salem, and Hill Grove provide important geographic anchors for the region's history.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, ranging from the large Union City Cemetery and Brick Memorial Park Cemetery to smaller family or community plots such as McFarland Cemetery, Snell Cemetery, and Shockney Cemetery. The map also details an extensive network of named drainage ditches, such as O'Conner Ditch and Shelley Ditch, which underscore the long-term engineering required to maintain the productivity of this fertile prairie region.
