About this map

Huntington Lake dominates the central landscape of this Huntington County quadrangle, formed by the Huntington Lake Dam across the Wabash River. The surrounding terrain is defined by a systematic grid of county roads and numerous drainage ditches like Fahl Ditch and Elkenberry Ditch, which manage the water levels of the surrounding agricultural lands. Small rural communities such as Majenica, Rock Creek Center, and Simpson serve as local anchors for the farming population.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the countryside, including the Star of Hope Cemetery, Loon Creek Cemetery, and Barnes Cemetery. The northern edge of the map shows the southeastern expansion of Huntington, including Huntington Municipal Airport. The varied hydrology of the area is further evidenced by several tributaries, notably Loon Creek and Majenica Creek, which snake through the grid-patterned fields toward the river valley.
