About this map

Wayland and the surrounding farmland of Henry, Washington, and Jefferson counties are defined by a landscape of rolling stream valleys and a grid of secondary roads. The Skunk River cuts across the southwest, while the intricate drainages of Crooked Creek and Williams Creek carve the central and northern reaches of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and local burial sites, such as the Bethel Mennonite Church and numerous rural cemeteries including Sommers Cem, Schrock Cem, and Elcher Cem.

The small settlement of Coppock sits at the junction of the counties, where local history is etched into the terrain through features like the site of an old CCC Camp in the northern hills. The southern portion of the area is drained by Shawnee Cr and Sugar Cr, leading toward the Sugar Creek Cemetery. This 2022 survey maintains the record of these established rural communities and their longstanding religious and civic sites.
