The Wabash River carves a diagonal path through this landscape, defining the western edge of Covington and separating the town from the agricultural stretches of the county. This 2010 survey highlights a distribution of burial grounds that mark the region's long settlement history, including Mount Hope Cemetery on the southern edge of town and the more isolated Gopher Hill Cemetery and Baltimore Cemetery to the west. Local landmarks like Fulton Field and small clusters such as Romine Corner and Foster reflect the enduring rural character of the area. Further north, the terrain is marked by numerous watercourses such as Chesapeake Creek and Redwood Creek that feed into the Wabash, alongside the distinctive ridge of Browns Hill. The map provides a detailed view of the local road grid, where historic routes like S Coal Hollow Rd and S Gobblers Knob Rd intersect with modern thoroughfares.
