About this map

The Indian Treaty Boundary cuts diagonally through this portion of Wells County, separating the townships of Jefferson and Union. At the center of the regional transport network, the Wabash River meanders toward the southwest, its banks hosting the Murray Conservation Club and the settlement of Murray. The landscape is a study in mid-century rural infrastructure, where the Erie-Lackawanna railroad intersects with small agricultural hubs like Uniondale and Kingsland.

Education and community life are anchored at Lancaster Central Sch and local congregations such as Calvary Ch and Lancaster Chapel. The presence of a Drive-in Theater near Toll Gate Heights and the Toll Gate Rest Park reflects the post-war automotive culture. Significant drainage works, including Griffin Ditch and Dowty DITCH, demonstrate the historical effort to manage the low-lying terrain for farming.
