2018 Map of Grayville

About this map

The Wabash River meanders through the heart of this landscape, forming the winding border between Illinois and Indiana. On the Illinois side, the river's dynamic path creates prominent features like Peankishaw Bend and Schuh Bend, while the low-lying terrain near Grayville is marked by the confluence of Bonpas Creek and Mud Cr. This riverine environment is characterized by large, shifting islands such as Pearl Island and the elevated vantage point of McCleary Bluff. Inland, the settlement pattern is defined by rural crossroads and small towns like Browns and Cowling. For family historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed, documenting several community burial grounds including Fortney Cem, Wheeler Cem, and the Saint Johns Lutheran Church Cem, alongside the Antioch Church Cem, reflecting the early spiritual and social foundations of Edwards and Wabash counties.
