About this map

Crawfordsville serves as the central hub of this Indiana survey, characterized by its educational institutions and established industrial footprint. The campus of Wabash College and the Courthouse define the downtown core, while residential growth reaches into Fiskyville and near Milligan Park. The landscape is etched by the winding path of Sugar Creek, which flows past the Spring Ledge County Club and the historic settlement of Yountsville.

Logistics and industry are evident through the Louisville and Nashville rail lines and various resource extraction sites like the Shale Pit and Kilns north of town. Rural Montgomery County is marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including Potts Cem, Harshbarger Cem, and Oak Hill Cemetery, providing a significant record for genealogical research in Union and Ripley townships.
