About this map

Mount Carmel serves as the focal point of this study, positioned near the confluence where the White River meets the Wabash River. This riverine landscape is defined by its extensive collection of memorial sites, including the large Highland Memorial Cemetery and several smaller family plots such as the Woods Family Cemetery and the Beauchamp and Harper Cemetery. The rural character of the surrounding Wabash County countryside is marked by small settlements and historic transit points like Schrodts Station, Maud, and Odgen, which are connected by a grid of numbered boulevards and county roads.

The terrain shifts from the developed streets of the city to the low-lying Patoka Island and the marshy areas near Crawfish Creek and Fordice Creek. Recreational and agricultural land use is evident at Conservation Lake, managed by the Wabash Valley Club Conservation Lake, and localized landing strips like Beckerman Field. This survey provides a clear look at the mix of traditional burial grounds, including the Potters Field Cemetery, and modern infrastructure such as the Mount Carmel Post Office during the early 21st century.
