About this map

Mount Etna sits at the northern edge of this Huntington County landscape, where the waters of the Salamonie River broaden into the finger-like reaches of Salamonie Lake. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and agricultural drainage, including the Detamore Ditch and several creeks such as Richland Creek and Little Black Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the rural character of the region, anchored by small community clusters like Banquo, Pleasant Plain, and Lancaster in the northeast corner.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-represented by family and community landmarks. The Purviance Cemetery and Lee Cemetery provide specific points of reference for researchers, while the Gardens of Memory serves as a prominent modern landmark along the western corridor. The grid of country roads, including Etna Rd and County Line Rd, connects these disparate settlements and water-fed lowlands, showing the persistent rural layout of central Indiana.
