About this map

Waynetown anchors the northern portion of this Montgomery County landscape, situated along the East Fork Coal Creek and a network of county roads. The terrain is defined by its agricultural character and extensive drainage systems, with Clarkson Ditch, Sommer Ditch, and McFarland Ditch cutting through the fields to manage the local water table. To the south, the landscape becomes increasingly oriented toward Sugar Mill Cr and its namesake Sugar Mill Lake, a significant local water feature.

Local history researchers can find several named crossroads and small clusters of settlement, including Wesley and Taylor Corner. In the far southeast, the locality of Hibernia is noted near the Fountain Co Montgomery Co line. For genealogists, the presence of the Fruits Cem provides a specific point of interest in this rural Midwestern setting, reflecting the 19th-century family land-use patterns that persisted into the modern era.
