2016 Map of Attica

About this map

The Wabash River carves a diagonal path across this section of Fountain and Warren counties, serving as the primary geographic anchor for several small settlements and rural homesteads. The town of Attica occupies the southwestern corner, while smaller communities like Independence and Riverside sit directly along the river's northern banks. This landscape is a mix of agricultural plateaus and deeply cut drainage patterns, most notably Opossum Hollow and the meandering Big Shawnee Creek to the south. Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds scattered throughout the township grids, including Bethel Cem, Clark Cem, and Maysville Cem. The presence of Riley Field near Riley Lake and several named ditches like Clayson Ditch illustrate the long-term modification of the land for local aviation and drainage.
