About this map

Little Raccoon Creek meanders through the central landscape of this Vermillion County region, defining a rural corridor marked by generational family cemeteries and small crossroads settlements. This 2016 survey shows the town of Dana situated in the west, while the eastern border is shaped by the Wabash River as it passes Montezuma. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds, such as Walnut Hill Cem, Carmack Cem, and Bogart Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local lineage in Highland and Helt Townships.

Industry and transport are represented by the presence of a Strip Airport and a grid of well-defined county roads. The terrain transitions from the upland plains around Bono to the river lowlands near Hillsdale and Alta. Notable water features like Shell Lake and Jonathan Cr punctuate the landscape, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically influenced agricultural placement and development in this portion of western Indiana.
