2024 Map of Bone Gap
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Bonpas Creek forms the primary geographic boundary between Edwards and Wabash counties in this Illinois quadrangle. The agricultural landscape is dotted with several small rural communities, including Bone Gap, Bellmont, and Browns. This area is particularly rich in genealogical data, evidenced by a high density of country burial grounds such as Lick Prairie Cem, Old Bethel Cem, and Saint Sebastian Cem. The drainage patterns are defined by numerous tributaries, with Fordice Creek and Coffee Creek carving through the prairie to meet the larger Bonpas Creek basin. Near Browns, the topography is further shaped by Negro Creek as it approaches the county line. The presence of the Nelson Private Airport south of Bone Gap indicates the modern utility of these open fields within this long-established farming region.
