About this map

Romney and South Raub anchor this corner of Tippecanoe County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the winding paths of Wea Creek and Little Wea Creek. The Norfolk and Western railroad cuts across the northern terrain, passing through the settlement of Shadeland and near the Shadeland Sch. This 1961 record, with 1980 updates, highlights the established rural infrastructure of Union, Wea, Jackson, and Randolph townships.

Local historians can trace numerous family and community sites, including several well-distributed burial grounds such as Hickory Grove Cem, Provault Cem, and Elmwood Cem. Educational and spiritual life is marked by the Farmers Institute Ch and the Southwestern High Sch. The map also captures modern additions to the landscape like the Radio Towers (WAZY) and Radio Towers (WBAA) alongside traditional extractive sites such as various Gravel Pits.
