About this map

The confluence of the Eel River and the Wabash River anchors the city of Logansport in this mid-century survey. The urban layout is defined by the Pennsylvania railroad lines and major thoroughfares like Broadway and Market St, which lead toward the city's civic core containing the Courthouse. Surrounding the city, the landscape is a patchwork of small rural communities and institutional sites, including the St Francis of Assisi Novitiate and College Hill.

North of the rivers, the terrain is marked by an extensive drainage network featuring the Treaty Boundary and the Old Indian Boundary, reflecting early nineteenth-century land partitions. Transportation history is evident in the route of the Old Michigan Road passing through Metea. Local family history is preserved in sites such as Mt Hope Cem and Horney Cem, while rural life is centered around community hubs like Spring Creek Ch and the Township Sch.
