About this map

Richvalley sits as a central point of interest in this Indiana landscape, situated along the northern banks of the Wabash River. The settlement pattern here is deeply influenced by the river valley and a dense network of tributaries including Engleman Creek, Schrom Creek, and Gilbert Branch. To the north, the terrain transitions into agricultural tracts defined by the Eel River and its feeder streams like Paw Paw Creek.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to several legacy burial sites, most notably the Francis Godfroy Cemetery in the southwest, alongside the Huff Cemetery and Wallace Cemetery. The presence of the small settlement of Erie and various drainage features like Beamer Ditch and Johnson Ditch illustrates the early 21st-century efforts to manage the fertile lowlands for agricultural productivity.
