About this map

The Wabash River serves as the central artery of this Indiana landscape, dividing Warren and Fountain counties as it flows past the town of Attica. In the early 1960s, the region was defined by a mix of river-bottom agriculture and transportation infrastructure, with the Wabash Railroad tracing the northern bank. The terrain is marked by significant drainages such as Kickapoo Creek and Big Shawnee Creek, which carve through the till plains toward the river valley.

Rural life is anchored by a network of small settlements and community landmarks, including Winthrop, Independence, and Riverside. Genealogists and local historians will find numerous burial sites such as Hatton Cem, Bethel Cem, and Maysville Cem. Industry is represented by several gravel pits and quarries, while leisure and modern transit appear via the Harrison Hills Country Club and Riley Airfield. The map also captures the local educational landscape at Township Sch and spiritual centers like Bethel Ch.
