About this map

Mississinewa River meanders across the northern portion of this landscape, flanked by numerous small tributaries like Austin Run and Ford Run that drain the surrounding agricultural fields. The area is defined by a rigid grid of country roads, including Van Devender Road and Pennsylvania Road, which connect rural settlements and isolated farmsteads. Significant for local history and genealogy, several country churches and cemeteries are recorded, such as Mt Zion Ch and the Wheeling Cem. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts diagonally across the central terrain, passing through the small community of Stockport and near Anthony. This network of rail and road illustrates the mid-century infrastructure of Delaware County, Indiana, prior to later modernization. Further south, drainage features like Killbuck Creek and Mud Creek intersect the township lines, while Olive Chapel and Corinth Ch serve as local landmarks for the surrounding rural population.
