About this map

The Wabash River carves a deep valley through this landscape, anchoring the city of Wabash as it appeared in the mid-20th century. The town center is densely structured with civic landmarks like the Courthouse, City Hall, and several historical schools including Century Sch and Eastwood Sch. Beyond the residential neighborhoods of Sunnymede and Valley Brook, the land transitions into a productive agricultural and industrial corridor served by the Conrail line.

South of the river, South Haven and the Wabash Municipal Airport mark the expansion of the community, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small family-named landmarks and rural institutions. Significant genealogical sites are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including the Falls Cem and the remote Asbury Ch to the east. The terrain is further defined by several smaller watercourses like Treaty Creek and Charley Creek, which contribute to the local topography and historical utility of the land.
