2016 Map of Pimento

About this map

Prairieton and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Vigo and Sullivan counties are defined by a network of drainage ditches and slow-moving waterways that shaped early settlement. This part of Indiana features a high concentration of private landing strips, including Aero Plaines Airport, Kester Fly Inn Airport, and Shure Airport, reflecting the region's aviation heritage. Local history is anchored by established communities like Pimento and Youngstown, with the southern edge of the survey reaching the township of Farmersburg. Genealogy researchers can find legacy landmarks such as Kester Cem and Union Cem near the creek systems. The natural landscape is dominated by the Hayworth Slough and the winding Prairie Cr, while engineering works like McFarland Ditch illustrate the long-term management of the local floodplain to support the area's rich farming traditions.
