About this map

Waynetown serves as the central hub of this agricultural region along the border of Fountain and Montgomery Counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including East Fork Coal Creek and Sugar Mill Cr, which cut through the fertile plains. Small outlying settlements like Wesley, Taylor Corner, and Hibernia mark the intersections of a grid-like road system, reflecting the traditional Midwestern township and range organization.

Genealogists may find interest in the Fruits Cem located south of the main town, while the various drainage systems such as Sommer Ditch, McFarland Ditch, and Clarkson Ditch illustrate the long-standing efforts to manage the water table for farming. The presence of these named crossroads and water features provides a detailed look at the rural geography of western Indiana in the early twenty-first century.
