About this map

Woodburn and Edgerton anchor the northern landscape of this Indiana-Ohio border region, where the Norfolk and Western railway cuts across a grid of agricultural lands defined by the State Line. This mid-century topography reveals a terrain shaped by water management, with a dense network of drainage channels such as Hetrick Ditch and Slusher Imbach Ditch supporting the surrounding townships of Maumee and Harrison.

Genealogists and local historians can trace small-town development and rural infrastructure, from the Township Sch in Jackson to the Sugar Ridge Cem further south. The map documents the localized industrial presence of Oil Wells and the quiet presence of rural crossroads like Townley and Dawkins. Waterways like Wildcat Creek and Flatrock Creek provide a natural contrast to the rigid road system and the arterial Lincoln Highway passing through the southern reaches.
