About this map

The Wabash River flows through the northern reaches of this survey, defining a landscape of riparian islands and historic boundaries. Near the river, the Fulton Islands and the high point at Black Rock stand as prominent natural landmarks. This area is bisected by the Old Indian Treaty Boundary, a notable cadastral line that cuts through the farmland of Tippecanoe County, Indiana. The rural settlement pattern is anchored by the village of Westpoint and smaller hamlets like Flint and Glenhall.

Away from the river, the terrain transitions to managed agricultural land drained by Wallace Ditch and Big Shawnee Creek. Evidence of local life is visible in the scattered presence of the Salem Ch, the Township Sch, and small family burial sites such as Sherry Cem and Marks Cem. The map also identifies industrial sites like various Quarries and Gravel Pits, reflecting the mid-century resource extraction in the region.
