2016 Map of Hutton

About this map

The Wabash River carves a winding path along the Illinois-Indiana border, defining the landscape of this river-valley quadrangle. The settlement of Darwin sits near a prominent horseshoe curve at Aurora Bend, serving as a historical waypoint on the Illinois side. To the east, the communities of Hutton and Vigo anchor the Indiana portion of the map, surrounded by a network of drainage systems like Negro Ditch and Greenfield Bayou that manage the low-lying terrain. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is heavily dotted with family-named burial sites, including Dean Cem, Shattuck Cem, and Lykens Cem. The transition from the river bottomlands to the interior is marked by features like Big Knoll and various wetlands such as Little Grassy Pond and Muskrat Pond, illustrating the ecological character of the borderlands during this 2016 survey.
