2016 Map of Wallace

About this map

Wallace and Grange Corner anchor this landscape along the border of Fountain and Parke Counties, where deep creek valleys carve through the central Indiana plains. The winding course of Sugar Creek dominates the southern half of the map, notable for its concentration of structural history including the Wilkins Mill Covered Bridge, Cox Ford Covered Bridge, and the Narrows Bridge near Rocky Hollow. These crossings suggest a long-standing reliance on the river corridor for local transport and commerce. Away from the water, the survey reveals a network of rural life marked by small family and community burial grounds such as Cashatt Cem, Zackmire Cem, and Nolen Cem. The presence of Wilson Airport and numerous named tributaries like Sugar Mill Creek and Stillwater Cr further define a region where agricultural land use is tightly integrated with the natural drainage patterns of the Wabash River watershed.
