About this map

The Wabash River and Eel River converge at Logansport, defining the industrial and geographic character of this mid-century Indiana landscape. The city’s eastern outskirts are marked by heavy rail infrastructure, including the Pennsylvania RR and specialized landmarks like the Radio Tower (WSAL). Outside the city center, the terrain transitions into the organized agricultural grids of Washington Township and Deer Creek Township, where the economy is driven by a network of drainage systems like Ansberry Ditch and Bird Ditch.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous small burial grounds and rural meeting places scattered across the quadrangle. From the Walton Odd Fellows Cem to the Blue Ball Ch, these sites represent the established community hubs of the 1950s. Small hamlets like Anoka and Deacon serve as local anchors, connected by a mix of primary routes and older corridors like Old Kokomo Road.
