About this map

The Mississinewa River winds through the northern portion of this Delaware County landscape, providing the primary drainage for a region defined by its productive agricultural grid and scattered small communities. The settlement of Wheeling sits near the river's edge, supported by the historic W Eaton-Wheeling Pike, while the town of Gaston occupies the western margin. This map reveals a high density of named drainage features, including the Van Devender Ditch and Studebaker Ditch, which underscore the systematic land management required for local farming.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the presence of several established burial grounds and spiritual centers. Wheeling Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery are clearly marked, alongside the Mount Zion Church and the eastern Union Cemetery. The southern reaches are dominated by the winding course of Killbuck Creek and its tributaries, including Corinth Run, which contrast with the straight, orderly layout of the county road system and rural crossroads like Stockport and Anthony.
