2016 Map of Richvalley

About this map

The Wabash River and Eel River define the hydraulic character of this Indiana landscape, which is marked by an extensive network of managed drainage like Beamer Ditch and Johnson Ditch. Small rural settlements such as Richvalley and Erie are situated amidst a grid of county roads, reflecting the agricultural stability of the region. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several burial sites including the Francis Godfroy Cem near the river, as well as Huff Cem and Wallace Cem further inland. The intersection of natural watercourses like Kentner Cr and Bachelor Creek with the rectilinear road system illustrates the long-term modification of the Miami and Wabash County borderlands for farming and local transit.
