About this map

Perrysville sits on the western bank of the Wabash River in this mid-century survey of the Indiana-Illinois borderlands. The landscape transitions from the river bottomlands into the agricultural uplands of Highland and Troy townships. Rural life is anchored by small crossroads and community centers such as Gessie and Flat Iron, with numerous local landmarks providing genealogical value, including Hopewell Ch and the Lower Mound Cem.

The eastern bank in Fountain County reveals a more dissected topography around Coal Creek, where small-scale Mines were noted. Transportation patterns include the proximity of Highland Airport to the state line and several water features like Collett Pond and Tree Spring. This mapping captures the region before extensive modern development, documenting established family cemeteries like Chenoweth Cem and Smith Cem that define the local heritage of Vermillion and Fountain counties.
