Geography[edit]

According to the 2010 census, the township has a total area of 22.62 square miles (58.6 km2), of which 22.23 square miles (57.6 km2) (or 98.28%) is land and 0.38 square miles (0.98 km2) (or 1.68%) is water.[6] It contains the town of Attica, which is near the banks of the Wabash River and which has a population of about 3,200 people.

U.S. Route 41,[7] Indiana State Road 28[8] and Indiana State Road 55[9] enter the township from Warren County, across the river to the west; at this point they all share the same route. In passing through Attica, U.S. 41 and State Road 55 go south, while State Road 28 continues east. A Norfolk Southern Railway line also crosses the river into the township; the line continues east-northeast near the river,[10] carrying about 45 freight trains each day.[11]
