2022 Map of Montezuma

About this map

The Wabash River and Sugar Creek define the western and northern edges of this Indiana landscape, where the border between Vermillion Co and Parke Co follows the river's winding course. This area is characterized by a dense network of rural settlements and family burial grounds, such as Bloomingdale Friends Cem and the Oakland Cem near Montezuma. Small communities like West Union, Annapolis, and Bloomingdale are linked by a grid of county roads, including the historical Tow Path RD that parallels the river. The southern portion is marked by the confluence of several waterways, including Big Raccoon Creek and Leatherwood Creek, creating the distinct terrain of Hethcoe Bottoms. Notable local sites such as Armiesburg and Coloma reflect the long-standing agrarian and community structure of the region, which has maintained its rural character even as transportation evolved from river-adjacent paths to modern routes like Midway RD.
