2019 Map of Dana

About this map

The Wabash River forms a significant geographical boundary along the eastern edge of this region, separating Vermillion and Parke counties. This landscape is characterized by its agricultural grid, where small settlements like Dana and Hillsdale serve as focal points for the surrounding rural community. The area east of the river near Montezuma transitions into the river valley, while the interior is dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Walnut Hill Cem and Juliet Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogical research. The presence of a Strip Airport and various water bodies like Shell Lake and Little Raccoon Creek highlight the varied land use, from recreational and aviation utility to the natural drainage systems of Buck Creek and Jonathan Creek.
