2021 Map of Albion South

About this map

Albion and Grayville anchor this Edwards and White County landscape, where the Little Wabash River winds through the southwestern corner. The terrain is defined by a dense network of local watercourses including Butter Cr, Harper Cr, and Stinking Cr, which create the undulating topography between the organized grid of county roads. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is an exceptional record of family and community burial grounds, preserving the locations of sites like the James Hean Family Cem and the Birk Prairie Cem. The transition from the municipal streets of Albion in the north to the river-bottom landscape near Dixon Shoals provides a clear view of the regional drainage patterns and rural settlement structure as it exists today. The confluence of Onion Cr and French Cr illustrates the complex hydrology that historically influenced land use and road placement throughout the quadrangle.
