2019 Map of Bippus

About this map

The confluence of the Wabash River and Little River anchors the southeastern corner of this Huntington County landscape, where the Forks of Wabash Trail traces the historic watercourse. This region is defined by a dense network of agricultural drainage systems, including Carroll Ditch, Deemer Ditch, and Verdrick Ditch, which underscore the intensive land management required for Indiana's central plains. Smaller rural crossroads such as Bippus, Goblesville, and Makin serve as local hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. Genealogists will find a significant distribution of local burial sites, ranging from the isolated Funk Cem in the northwest to the larger Pilgrims Rest Cem and Mount Calvary Cem near the northern outskirts of Huntington. The map captures the transition from these small, unincorporated communities into the more developed industrial and residential corridors of the county seat.
