About this map

The Wabash River carves a distinctive path through this portion of Fountain County, where the legacy of nineteenth-century transportation is visible in the remnants of the Wabash and Erie Canal. This waterway once linked the Great Lakes to the Ohio River, and its alignment here parallels the river near the settlement of Fountain. The landscape is defined by its drainage networks, including Rattlesnake Cr and Coal Creek, which feed into the primary river valley.

Local history is preserved at sites like the Brown Cem and the natural landmark of Portland Arch. Small rural hubs such as Stone Bluff and Rob Roy serve as anchors for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The map also identifies specific family-named terrain like Rattlesnake Hollow and community spaces such as Gary Johnson Field, providing a clear view of the land division and rural infrastructure in the modern era.
