About this map

Ridgway Settlement and the small community of Inman anchor this mid-century look at Gallatin County, where the topography shifts from the flat drainage basins of the Wabash River valley into the prominent rises of Gold Hill and the Shawneetown Hills. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and sloughs, including Yellowbank Slough, Cattail Slough, and Willow Pond Slough, reflecting the area's proximity to the great river systems.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural landmarks, with numerous family and community burial sites like Old Cottonwood Cem, New Zion Cem, and Jones Cem scattered across the townships. The rural character is further defined by historic congregations such as Old Cottonwood Ch and New Hope Ch, while the industrial footprint of the 1960s is evident in the numerous Oil Wells and drilling sites that pepper the fields between the ridges.
