About this map

Wabash River meanders in dramatic loops across the Illinois and Indiana border, shaping a landscape defined by prominent features like Peankishaw Bend and Schuh Bend. This 2012 survey illustrates the relationship between the river’s hydrological patterns and local agriculture, where landforms such as Pearl Island and McCleary Bluff overlook the alluvial plains. To the west, Frazier Prairie and several small tributaries, including Bonpas Cr and Mud Cr, drain into the main river system.

Local history is well-preserved through numerous rural burial grounds and the small settlement of Cowling. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of several named cemeteries, including Saint Johns Lutheran Church Cem, Antioch Church Cem, Freidens Cem, and Wheeler Cem. The map also documents modern infrastructure, such as Denham Levee, which serves to manage the flood-prone terrain of this river-centered community.
