About this map

Mississinewa Lake dominates the central landscape of this Wabash County region, a significant reservoir created by the damming of the Mississinewa River. The settlement of Somerset sits along its southern shore, positioned near the intersection of several historic routes including the Frances Slocum Trl and E Miller Rd. The topography is marked by distinctive glacial and fluvial features, most notably The Hogback, a prominent ridge situated where Grant Creek meets the river valley.

North of the reservoir, the land transitions into a systematic grid of agricultural sections, punctuated by the small community of Treaty and local landmarks like Murphy Cem and Mississinewa Memorial Cem. This 2019 survey documents the modern drainage patterns of numerous tributaries, such as Tenmile Cr, Muddy Br, and Treaty Cr, which define the local watershed across the county boundaries of Miami, Grant, and Wabash.
