About this map

Salamonie Lake and its surrounding flood control landscape dominate the southern half of this Huntington County region. The topography is defined by the winding course of the Wabash River in the north and the Salamonie River to the south, which feeds into the reservoir. Near the northern bend of the Wabash, the town of Andrews serves as a local hub, while the smaller settlements of Harlansburg and Lancaster anchor the rural crossroads.

Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including the German Settlement Cem and the Monument City Memorial Cem, the latter of which preserves the name of a community displaced by the creation of the reservoir. Notable physical landmarks such as Heineys Bend and Monument Island highlight the complex intersection of natural river hydrology and modern water management. The area is also drained by numerous tributaries like Loon Cr, Little Majenica Cr, and Dolby Ditch.
