About this map

Pimento and its surrounding rural landscapes are meticulously detailed in this early 21st-century survey of south-central Vigo County. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network, including the Mc Farland Ditch and Prairie Creek, which feed into the wetlands of Hayworth Slough. These watercourses shape the agricultural layout of the region, interspersed with several small aviation sites such as Aero Plaines Airport and the Kester Fly Inn Airport.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds like Union Cemetery, Kester Cemetery, and New Harmony Cemetery, which anchor the small crossroads communities of Youngstown and Prairieton. The map also captures the settlement at Farmersburg along the southern edge, illustrating the enduring township structures and the centralized role of the Pimento Post Office in this primarily agrarian corridor.
