2013 Map of Van Wert

About this map

Van Wert sits at the northern edge of this Decatur County landscape, where local life centers around a grid of residential streets including Park St and Harrison St. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the W Little River, which dominates the southern half of the quadrangle as it feeds into a large reservoir system. The map documents smaller rural settlements like De Kalb and Kingston, providing a clear record of the modern road network that connects these communities, including the primary north-south interstate corridor. Several significant watercourses, such as Long Cr, Wolf Cr, and Redmans Br, drain the agricultural lands between these points of settlement, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the region's development and land use through the early 21st century.
