About this map

The Wabash River meanders across the border of Clark County, Illinois, and Vigo County, Indiana, defining the geography of this 2019 survey. The village of Darwin sits on the western bank, anchored by the Darwin Cem, while the settlements of Vigo and Hutton occupy the flatter terrain to the east. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of seasonal wetlands and drainage systems, including Muskrat Pond, Round Pond, and the Negro Ditch.

Genealogists can trace a high concentration of burial sites across the farmland, from the Liffick Cem in the north to the West Prairie Creek Cem in the southeast. Distinctive river features like the sharp Aurora Bend and the backwater of Greenfield Bayou illustrate the shifting nature of the river corridor. The area is also marked by significant relief at Big Knoll, rising above the surrounding bayous and sloughs.
