2019 Map of Solitude

About this map

New Harmony serves as the focal point for this survey of the riverine borderlands between Indiana and Illinois. The Wabash River meanders across the terrain, creating complex features like Turkey Island, Ribeyre Island, and Bowman Bend. The legacy of the early Harmonist community is visible in the landscape through the Harmonist Cem and Maple Hill Cem. Evidence of rural family settlements remains through numerous burial grounds, including the Alexander Cem, Beech Grove Cem, and French Cem, which are scattered among the many small drainages such as Rush Creek and Big Creek. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Culley Acres Airport and the SR69-Corridor, while a network of recreational paths like the Wabash Horse Trail and Bicycle Trail cut through the timbered sections of the river bottoms.
