About this map

The Wabash River and the historic Wabash and Erie Canal define the northern border of this landscape, just southwest of Logansport. This survey shows a transition between industrial activity and rural community life in the early 1960s. In the north, Strip Mines and a powerplant mark the working land, while the massive grounds of the Longcliff Hospital overlook the river valley near the Conrail line.

Moving south toward Clymers, the terrain levels out into a network of drainage channels like Martin Ditch and Slusser Ditch. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family-named landmarks and burial sites, including the Porter Cem, Shideler Cem, and Rock Creek Cem near Mt Pisgah Ch. The intersection of the Norfolk and Western and Conrail railroads serves as a central spine for the agricultural settlements in Clinton and Washington townships.
