2019 Map of Lewis

About this map

Lewis and Blackhawk anchor this section of the Indiana countryside along the border of Vigo and Sullivan Counties. The landscape is a network of agricultural fields and water-filled remnants of former industrial activity, including several named lakes such as Wonder Lake, Lee Lake, and Israel Lake. A historical trace of the Wabash and Erie Canal is visible in the northeastern corner, marking the enduring impact of nineteenth-century transportation infrastructure on the local geography. Numerous family cemeteries, including Jones, Miner, and Liberty, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant points of interest for genealogical research. Small settlements like Keller and Brown Jug Corner provide additional context for the area's rural development. To the west, the Aero Plaines Airport and a series of recreation paths like the Perimeter Trail suggest the modern usage of the land surrounding Sanford Hill.
