The Little Wabash River and the larger Wabash River define the intricate hydrology of this border region where Illinois and Indiana meet. The landscape is a complex network of backwaters and sloughs, including Brushy Slough, Sandy Slough, and the Little Chain Cutoff, which weave around prominent landforms like the Dogtown Hills and Little Chain Hills. This environment has historically shaped the placement of local settlements such as Emma, New Haven, and Rising Sun.
