About this map

The Mississinewa River winds through this rural landscape north of Muncie, anchoring a network of waterways that have long defined Delaware County agriculture. The small settlement of Wheeling sits near the northern boundary, where the Wheeling Cem and Pike Cr mark the local topography. Further south, the community of Stockport and the edge of Gaston reflect the grid-based development of the Indiana countryside, connected by historic routes like the W Eaton Wheeling Pike.

Surface drainage is a defining characteristic of this terrain, managed by an extensive system of named channels including Hedgeland Ditch, Studebaker Ditch, and Van Devender Ditch. These man-made improvements alongside natural runs like Killbuck Cr and Corinth Run illustrate the intensive land use required for local farming. Genealogical interest is centered on the Mount Zion Church Cem and the persistent small-town boundaries of Anthony, offering a clear view of the area's rural social infrastructure.
