About this map

The Wabash River snakes through the northwest corner of this 2010 landscape, a corridor of significant historical transportation marked by the trace of the Wabash and Erie Canal along its southern bank. The village of Fountain sits at a bend in the river near the Portland Arch area, while the settlement of Stone Bluff anchors the eastern edge of the quadrangle near the banks of Coal Creek. These small communities are connected by a grid of rural roads, such as W Stone Bluff Rd and N Portland Arch Rd, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of Fountain County.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features like the Brown Cemetery situated near Marquess Branch. The map records a complex drainage network including Graham Creek, Bear Creek, and Rattlesnake Creek, illustrating how the land's hydrology dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads. From the southern crossroads at Layton to the northern reaches of Scott Pond, the document preserves the spatial arrangement of a traditional Midwestern river-valley landscape.
