About this map

The Wabash River forms the eastern boundary of this 1917 map, carving a winding path through the borderlands of Illinois and Indiana. The river economy of the early twentieth century is evident in transit points like Brightlight Ferry and Shaws Landing, which provided essential crossings before modern infrastructure. Inland, the landscape is defined by the Chicago and St Louis R R and Cincinnati and Cleveland R R, rail lines that supported agricultural hubs like Flat Rock and Pinkstaff.
