2019 Map of Roann

About this map

The Eel River winds through the heart of northern Indiana's agricultural landscape, anchoring the historic riverside settlements of Roann and Stockdale. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by an intricate network of drainage ditches and creeks, including Squirrel Creek, Paw Paw Creek, and Beargrass Creek, which manage the water levels of the surrounding farmland. Numerous small cemeteries, such as Finley Cemetery, Shiloh Cemetery, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery, are preserved across the landscape, offering vital touchpoints for genealogical research and local heritage. Small bodies of water like Lukens Lake, McColley Lake, and Gaerte Lake punctuate the northern sections of the map near the Miami and Wabash county lines, while the southern reaches include the community of Pettysville.
