2019 Map of Richvalley

About this map

Richvalley and the Wabash River corridor anchor this portion of northern Indiana, where the drainage of the Wabash and Eel River systems defines the agricultural landscape. The map illustrates a complex network of man-made waterways including Busick Ditch, Johnson Ditch, and Beamer Ditch, which work to manage the low-lying terrain between the rivers. For genealogists and local historians, several small burial grounds are documented across the landscape, such as Richvalley Cem, Wallace Cem, and the Huff Cem to the north. A significant cultural landmark, the Francis Godfroy Cem, is located near the western boundary. The settlement of Erie sits along the northern rail line, while the historical influence of the river is seen in the winding courses of Daniel Cr and Kentner Cr as they feed into the larger Wabash valley.
