About this map

The Wabash River valley defines the character of this West Central Indiana landscape, where the city of Covington serves as a focal point at the junction of Fountain and Vermillion counties. The map records the enduring legacy of 19th-century infrastructure through the remaining traces of the Wabash and Erie Canal, which parallels the river's eastern bank. Moving away from the river, the terrain transitions into the agricultural uplands of Warren County, marked by smaller settlements like Marshfield and Johnsonville.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a high density of rural burial grounds, including Mount Hope Cem, Upper Mound Cem, and the Baltimore Cem near the community of Olin. The transportation network is a mix of modern developments like the NE Trail and historic nodes such as Romine Corner and Foster. Aviation history is also noted at Fulton Field, situated near the confluence of Kitchen Cr and N Fork Spring Cr.
