Southern Illinois University Carbondale sits at the heart of this Southern Illinois landscape, where the urban grid of Carbondale transitions into the hills and drainages of the Shawnee National Forest. The Illinois Central Railroad serves as a primary north-south spine, passing through the smaller settlements of Boskydell and Makanda. This corridor is defined by its complex hydrology, with Crab Orchard Creek and its many tributaries, such as Drury Creek and Sycamore Creek, carving through the terrain toward the expansive Crab Orchard Lake in the northeast and Little Grassy Lake in the southeast.
