About this map

Williamsport and Attica face one another across the Wabash River in this early 1960s survey of the border between Warren and Fountain Counties. The landscape is defined by the deep carving of Big Pine Creek, where dramatic local landmarks like Lovers Leap and Hog Back Hill overlook the winding water. This area was once famed for its mineral waters, evidenced by the settlement at Mudlavia Springs and the nearby village of Kramer.

Genealogists can find numerous rural burial grounds including Highland, Hillside, and McCabe, while the infrastructure of the era is captured through features like the Paul Dresser Bridge and the Community Hospital. From the upland grain fields of Liberty and Washington townships to the active industry at various Sand and Gravel Pits along the river, the map preserves the transition from traditional agrarian life to mid-century development.
