About this map

The settlement of Inman serves as a focal point for this rural landscape in Gallatin County, where the topography is defined by the low-lying wetlands of the Wabash River drainage system. The area is heavily intersected by human-engineered drainage features such as Pond Settlement Ditch, Crackle Ditch, and Cypress Ditch, which work to manage the water levels of native features like Cattail Slough and Goose Pond.

For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, including the Old Cottonwood Cem, Saint Patricks Cem, and Gallicott Cem, reflecting a long history of small, localized communities. The southern edge of the sheet is marked by the rising elevation of the Shawneetown Hills, providing a sharp contrast to the flat, canal-crossed plains to the north. A network of rural routes like Cottonwood Cemetery Ln and Irish Crossing Rd further illustrate the established agricultural character of the region.
