About this map

The Wabash River meanders across the state line between Indiana and Ohio, anchoring a landscape defined by small crossroads settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of New Corydon and neighboring Jay City sit just west of the border, where the river's path is monitored by a Gaging Station. Further south, the terrain includes the notable Limberlost area, characterized by its network of small tributaries like Bull Creek and Wilson Creek.

Religious and educational life in this rural corridor is well-documented, from the Jefferson School in the north to numerous country churches such as St Marys Ch, Trinity Ch, and St Anthony Ch. Genealogists will find several burial grounds including Liberty Cem and the State Line Cemetery, which sits directly on the boundary. The map also records the mid-century industrial footprint of the region through scattered Oil Wells, a Pumping Station, and multiple gravel pits.
