About this map

Hutsonville sits at a critical bend of the Wabash River where the Hutsonville Bridge connects Illinois to Indiana. This area of Crawford County is defined by a series of family and community cemeteries that trace the settlement history of the region, including the Hutson Old Cemetery, Ball Cemetery, and Barbee Cemetery. The landscape transitions from the river bottomlands, marked by the Hutsonville Cutoff and Kelley Bayou, toward the industrial and residential core of Robinson in the southwest.

Evidence of civic and local history is found at the Crawford County Home and the Robinson Post Office. The drainage patterns of Sugar Creek and Hutson Creek cross the agricultural plains between Gordon and the river, while Robinson Municipal Airport occupies the flat terrain east of the city. For genealogists, the distribution of burial sites like the New Robinson Cemetery and Newlin Cemetery provides a spatial record of the county's established lineages.
