About this map

The Wabash River carves the western boundary of this Sullivan County landscape, creating a dynamic environment of wetlands and backwaters such as Angle Pond and Kelley Bayou. This modern topographic study reveals a rural settlement pattern defined by the village of Fairbanks and the riverside community of Riverview. The interior is crisscrossed by several winding waterways including Turman Creek, Snyder Creek, and Welsh Creek, which drain the agricultural tablelands toward the river valley.

Genealogists and local historians will find several well-preserved burial sites including Walnut Prairie Cemetery, Pogue Cemetery, and the Riggs-Ernest Cemetery. Natural and cultural landmarks are prominently indicated, such as the Fairbanks Mound north of the main settlement and Ladd Hill to the south. The layout of Trotman Rd and other local routes provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure surrounding these long-established Indiana communities.
