About this map

Albion and Grayville anchor this Edwards County landscape, separated by a dense network of country roads and creek drainage systems. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Wabash River near Dixon Shoals, while numerous smaller waterways like Sinking Cr, Onion Cr, and French Cr carve through the agricultural layout.

For those tracing local history, the map provides a remarkable distribution of burial sites, including the James Hean Family Cem, Wanborough Cem, and Birk Prairie Cem. These scattered landmarks, along with small settlements like Red Top, suggest a long-established pattern of rural residency and family landownership. The grid of numeric roads, such as E 600 N Rd, links these quiet corners to the larger towns, documenting the enduring footprint of southern Illinois farm life.
