About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedBlackford County is Indiana smallest county by area, occupying the eastern central part of the state near Hartford City, where flat agricultural land, the Loblolly Marsh, and small creek drainages create modest but productive deer habitat in a tight rural footprint.

Limited access options make landowner permission the primary route to hunting.
