About this map

The Wabash River and Salamonie River converge in this portion of Indiana, creating a landscape defined by significant waterways and the expansive Salamonie Lake reservoir. The town of Lagro sits at the northern end of this corridor, where the historic Wabash River valley is flanked by landmarks like Hanging Rock and Possum Hollow. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the landscape following the creation of the Salamonie Dam, which transformed the lower Salamonie River valley into a sprawling recreational and flood-control basin.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites throughout the township, including Saint Patrick Cem and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem near the town center, as well as Leedy Cem and Center Grove Cem further south. The map traces the rural character of settlements like Lincolnville and follows numerous small tributaries such as Rager Cr, Ross Run, and Indian Cr as they feed into the primary river systems. Smaller water bodies like Hominy Ridge Lake and Dick Thomas Pond dot the uplands between the river valleys.
