About this map

The Wabash River forms a major geographic boundary between Warren County and Fountain County, anchoring the settlements of Williamsport and Attica. This river corridor is a focal point of local history, where the legacy of nineteenth-century transportation is still visible in the traces of the Wabash and Erie Canal. The landscape north of the river is defined by the winding course of Big Pine Creek, which flows past landmarks like Lovers Leap and Hog Back Hill near the small communities of Mudlavia Springs and Kramer.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous family and community burial sites scattered across the township lines, including Brier Cemetery, McCabe Cemetery, and the Riverside Cemetery near Attica. Notable infrastructure connects these points, such as the Paul Dresser Bridge and the Shawnee Bridge spanning Big Shawnee Creek. From the crossroads at Five Points to the northern reaches of Carbondale, the map documents a transition from structured town grids to an expansive rural landscape shaped by drainage features like French Ditch and Fall Branch.
