About this map

The Wabash River defines the western edge of this landscape, carving a winding path that creates several prominent landforms including Ribeyre Island and Turkey Island. This 2010 survey shows the area around the historic settlement of New Harmony, where the cultural imprint of its early residents is visible in the Harmonist Cemetery and Maple Hill Cemetery. The interior is crisscrossed by a dense network of local roads and small waterways like Rush Creek and Harmony Creek, connecting smaller hamlets such as Solitude, Savah, and Grafton.

The map reveals a landscape heavily influenced by rural drainage and early transport, evidenced by the numerous named runs and branches, and historic thoroughfares like Old Plank Rd N. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds, including the McFadden Cemetery and Alexander Cemetery, alongside landmarks like Pahoka Camp Lake and its associated dam.
