1951 Map of Richvalley

About this map

The Wabash River and the Eel River dominate the drainage of this Indiana landscape, following paths through the townships of Richland, Noble, and Erie. The settlement pattern in the early 1950s shows small centers such as Richvalley and Gilbert clustered near the Wabash railroad line, which follows the river's northern bank. This map provides specific genealogical value through its identification of local burial grounds, including the Francis Godfroy Cem near the river and the Huff Cem to the north.
