2010 Map of Fritchton

About this map

Vincennes and its eastern agricultural surroundings are meticulously documented in this 2010 survey, showcasing the transition from the city's edge into the rural Knox County countryside. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of the Wabash River and its various tributaries, including Smalls Creek and Upper River Deshee. The map reveals a dense network of local roads that link the primary hub of Vincennes to smaller communities such as Fritchton and Verne. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the clear identification of several burial grounds, such as Root Cemetery, Fritchton Cemetery, and Highland Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the township. The mix of historical highway alignments like E Old Hwy 50 and modern infrastructure provides a detailed view of how transportation and settlement have evolved along these traditional Indiana routes.
