About this map

Westpoint and Glenhall sit along the high ground south of the Wabash River in this 2016 study of the Tippecanoe County landscape. The mapping clearly delineates the path of the Wabash and Erie Canal, which follows the river's bend near the Fulton Islands. This area is characterized by its agricultural grid and the complex drainage network of Flint Creek and its various tributaries like Little Flint Cr and Flint Run.

Southward, the terrain transitions into the more open plains around the small settlements of Odell and Roberts. Genealogists will find the exact locations of historic burial grounds, including Sherry Cem near the northern border and Marks Cem further south. The map also records the prominent geological feature Black Rock overlooking the river valley, marking the boundary where Warren and Tippecanoe counties meet.
