About this map

The Wabash River meanders across this landscape on the Illinois-Indiana border, carving out significant water features like the Horseshoe Cutoff and Johnsons Cutoff. This riverine environment is defined by its complex drainage, where No Business Cr and Sugar Cr feed into the main channel near Shaws Landing. The presence of an Indian Mound near Bristol Hill suggests a long history of human activity in the bottomlands long before the establishment of modern settlements like Heathsville and Richwoods.

Genealogists will find an exceptional number of family-named burial sites scattered across the rural grid, including Wesley Chapel Cem, Bartmess Cem, and Ganies Cem. The terrain is mostly flat but punctuated by elevations such as Shawn Hill, while the eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the intricate wetlands and oxbows of Old Busseron Cr and Buzzard Pond. Small-scale aviation is represented at Mann Airport, situated in the northeastern corner of the study area.
