2022 Map of Delphi

About this map

Delphi and Pittsburg center this study of the mid-Wabash valley, where the legacy of the nineteenth-century Wabash and Erie Canal remains a defining topographical element. The town of Delphi serves as the focal point, anchored by the Carroll County Courthouse and surrounded by a dense collection of burial grounds including Baum Cem, Delphi Cem, and Saint Joseph Catholic Cem. The landscape is carved by the Wabash River and Tippecanoe River, which meet just beyond the western margins, creating a complex network of tributaries like Deer Creek and Sugar Creek. Transport patterns are defined by the intersection of older settlement routes and modern infrastructure, from the Delphi Municipal Airport to the rural crossings at Colburn, Americus, and Radnor. This record is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents numerous smaller family and community cemeteries like Benham Cem, Mears Cem, and Wingard Cem tucked into the river bends and agricultural sections.
