About this map

Williamsport and Attica face each other across the Wabash River, joined by the Paul Dresser Bridge during an era of significant infrastructure and agricultural development. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Pine Creek, which carves through the terrain near the Hog Back Hill and Lovers Leap. This survey reveals the importance of the local extractive industry, with numerous Sand and Gravel Pits and a Quarry situated near the riverbanks, supporting the region's growth.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of details in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including the Goodwine Cem, Owens Cem, and the St Francis of Xavier Cem. The map also preserves the locations of smaller communities like Mudlavia Springs, Kramer, and Carbondale, along with the Norfolk and Western rail lines that provided the essential links for commerce and travel throughout Warren and Fountain counties.
