About this map

The Wabash River meanders across the border of Illinois and Indiana in this 2013 survey, defining a landscape of complex riparian features and small rural settlements. Near the town of Darwin, the Darwin Ferry and Darwin Ferry landing mark a historical crossing point, while river bends like Aurora Bend and several oxbow-related water bodies characterize the floodplain. These include Oxendine Bayou, Greenfield Bayou, and Chestnut Bayou, alongside stagnant features like Muskrat Pond and Round Pond.

Away from the riverbanks, the high ground of Big Knoll rises above a network of drainage ditches and creeks, including Negro Ditch and Prairie Cr. Local history is anchored by the communities of Hutton and Vigo, and historic river crossings such as Waters Ford and Taylor Ford. The map provides a precise look at the 21st-century road grid that overlays this ancient river valley, connecting family-named rural lanes with the persistent natural landmarks of the Wabash bottomlands.
