About this map

The Wabash River and White River converge in this riverine landscape at the border of Indiana and Illinois. The settlement of East Mount Carmel sits near the southwestern corner, while the small community of Orrville is positioned further north, flanked by the Orrville Hills. The hydrology of the region is complex, defined by winding watercourses like the Patoka River and Coon Cr, alongside distinctive features such as Kellys Ripple and the Grand Rapids.

Land use is a mix of agricultural terrain and riparian landmarks, including the notable Hanging Rock and Little Rock. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the Mount Carmel Ferry crossing and the Eickholtz Airport. Significant drainage projects, such as Hull Ditch and Thompson Ditch, highlight the local efforts to manage the water-rich bottomlands that also host numerous standing water bodies like Maucks Pond, Claypole Pond, and Long Pond.
