2013 Map of Bippus

About this map

The Wabash River and its confluence with the Little River anchor the southern reaches of this landscape in Huntington County. This rural Indiana terrain is heavily shaped by an intricate drainage system including the Brown Ditch, Carroll Ditch, and Deemer Ditch, reflecting the area's agricultural engineering. Scattered small communities such as Bippus, Makin, and Bracken are connected by a rigid grid of country roads, including W Bracken Rd. To the northeast, the settlement of Goblesville sits near the headwaters of W Br Clear Cr. The presence of the Beck Private Airport near the center of the sheet highlights the transition from traditional farming to modern infrastructure. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for these smaller named hamlets and the waterways like Nieman Cr and Silver Cr that have long defined the regional property boundaries.
