About this map

The Little Wabash River and Skillet Fork converge in this southeastern Illinois landscape, creating a complex network of waterways that includes the Schoemann Cutoff and several drainage ditches. The settlement of Centerville serves as a central point, surrounded by a high density of small family and community burial grounds such as the Ralls Family Cem, Old Bethel Cem, and Mount Pleasant Cem. These sites, along with the Hadden Cem and Rebstock Cem further south, provide significant genealogical markers for the region.

Transportation throughout the area relies on river crossings such as Winters Bridge, Sigler Bridge, and Sumpter Bridge, which connect the rural grid roads spanning the bottomlands. The terrain is largely defined by the river valleys, though prominent features like Boyd Hill and Rattlesnake Bluff offer distinct elevation changes in an otherwise watery environment dominated by Sevenmile Cr and Wilson Cr.
