About this map

Urbana stands as the primary hub in the northeast corner of this survey, where the Urbana Post Office serves the community alongside the industrial footprint of the Mad River Incorporated Airport. The landscape is defined by the valley of the Mad River, which flows southward, joined by numerous tributaries including Nettle Creek, Stony Creek, and Bogles Run. This drainage pattern influenced the early settlement of the region, visible in the cluster of burial grounds dotting the rural countryside.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and historical sites, such as Snider Cemetery, Owens Cemetery, and Shockey Cemetery. Small unincorporated settlements like Westville, Bowlusville, and Glen Echo are connected by a network of historic routes including Old Troy Pike and Valley Pike. The map illustrates the 2010 transition from the developed streets of the county seat to the agricultural and alluvial plains of the Mad River valley.
