About this map

The Tippecanoe River meanders through the heart of Pulaski County, serving as the central geographic feature for the surrounding prairie and woodland. In the town of Winamac, the local hub is defined by the Courthouse and a grid of streets including Main St and Washington St, bordered by the Conrail line. To the north, the Tippecanoe River State Park and Winamac State Fish and Wildlife Area preserve large tracts of natural landscape, including a Lookout Tower and Park Headquarters.

The map reveals a deeply hydraulic landscape shaped by a complex network of drainage systems such as Reinhold Ditch and Bruce Ditch. Scattered rural landmarks provide valuable points for genealogical research, including the River Bank Church and its adjacent River Bank Cemetery, as well as the Fairview School. These smaller sites, along with the County Farm, illustrate the early 20th-century social and agricultural organization of Franklin, Tippecanoe, Monroe, and Harrison townships.
