About this map

The Mississinewa River carves a deep, winding path through this mid-century landscape of Miami and Wabash Counties, anchoring the Frances Slocum State Forest. The river's edge is marked by the geological curiosity of the Cliffs of the Seven Double Pillars, while the historical Slocum Trail traces the upland terrain. This era shows a well-connected agricultural and transport network, with the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cutting across the southern half, serving small hubs like Santa Fe and McGraw.
