Southern Illinois University anchors this part of southern Illinois, its campus featuring Campus Lake and the University School. The city of Carbondale is shown in detail, including its residential expansion and the Marberry Arboretum near Evergreen Terrace. To the south, the landscape transitions into a network of creeks and small settlements like Boskydell, where the Boskydell Cem and Snider Hill Cem serve as markers for local family histories. The region is defined by its water resources, with the extensive Crab Orchard Lake in the northeast and Little Grassy Lake at the southern edge, which supports the Little Grassy Fish Hatchery. This terrain reflects the area's development as an educational hub and a gateway to the diverse recreation areas of the Shawnee Hills region.
