About this map

The Wabash River meanders across this landscape, forming the boundary between Illinois and Indiana. This riverine environment is defined by its dynamic water features, including the Darwin Ferry, which historically served as a vital crossing point, and significant oxbow-related terrain like Aurora Bend. To the east of the river, the small settlement of Hutton serves as a local landmark amidst a network of drainage systems such as Negro Ditch and the winding Prairie Creek.

For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its density of burial sites. Numerous family-named cemeteries are scattered across the terrain, including Mackey Cemetery, Liffick Cemetery, and Watson Cemetery. These sites, along with landmarks like Big Knoll and various riverine ponds such as Muskrat Pond and Round Pond, provide a detailed record of the long-standing community ties to the land in Clark County.
