2022 Map of Covington

About this map

Covington serves as the focal point of this region, situated on the banks of the Wabash River where the Fountain County Courthouse stands at the center of the local street grid. The landscape reveals a complex history of transportation and settlement, notably marked by the remnants of the Wabash and Erie Canal, which runs parallel to the river. Further inland, small settlements like Foster, Olin, and Romine Corner are connected by a web of county roads, while Johnsonville sits to the northwest. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses such as Redwood Creek, Mud Run, and Coal Hollow, creating a varied topography. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Upper Mound Cem, Baltimore Cem, and Sand Hill Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural landscape, often near historic crossroads or elevated overlooks.
