2016 Map of Wren

About this map

The Saint Marys River winds through this borderland region, anchoring the small communities of Pleasant Mills and Willshire in Indiana and Ohio. This 2016 survey details the geometric grid of agricultural roads that define the landscape, where family history is etched into the many rural burial grounds like Salem Cem and Fletcher Cem. The town of Wren serves as a local hub near the Ohio-Indiana State Line Rd, reflecting the enduring settlement patterns of the Midwest. Genealogists will find particular value in the distinction between Mount Tabor Cem and the Old Mount Tabor Cem, indicating shifts in the local community over generations. Smaller watercourses such as Blue Creek and Yellow Cr drain the flat plains, while named ditches like Bowen Ditch illustrate the long-standing management of these fertile lands.
