About this map

The Wabash River and Salamonie River converge in this mid-century portrait of Wabash County, where the settlement of Lagro serves as a primary hub. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Wabash RR and a network of rural roads connecting scattered communities like Dora, New Holland, and Lincolnville. Cultural landmarks are prominent, including several country churches such as Hopewell Ch and Bethel Ch, alongside small family or community burial grounds like Leedy Cem and Center Grove Cem.

A notable geological and recreational corridor is preserved within the Salamonie River State Forest, featuring the distinct Hanging Rock landmark overlooking the water. The map records a period of agricultural stability and local transit, from the small Lincoln Airport in the south to the numerous creeks such as Ross Run and Rager Creek that drain the timbered hollows and tilled fields of the Indiana countryside.
