2010 Map of Washington

About this map

Washington and its surrounding agricultural landscape in Daviess County are defined by an intricate network of waterways and early 21st-century infrastructure. The White River winds along the western edge, joined by a system of drainage features including Prairie Creek, Hawes Ditch, and the Killion Canal. Smaller rural communities and historic place names like Jordan, Graham, and Lettsville are distributed across the northern township grids, while the southern edge of the city is marked by South Washington and the industrial footprint of the U.S. HWY. 50 BYP. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, including Saint Johns Cemetery, Hawkins Cemetery, and Colbert Cemetery. The presence of the Daviess County Airport and the Washington Waterworks near the river reflects the modern utility and transportation hubs serving the county seat during this era.
