About this map

The Wabash River carves a deep, serpentine boundary between Illinois and Indiana, defining the geography of this riverine corridor. The landscape is heavily marked by water management and drainage systems designed to navigate the floodplain, including the Little Sumner Ditch, Watts Ditch, and Johnson Ditch. Isolated rises and landforms emerge from the bottomlands, most notably Duck Island and Coffee Island, while the Foote Pond Hills anchor the southern reach of the survey area.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several small, established settlements and burial sites throughout the territory. The village of Keensburg sits in the northwest, near Keens Cem and Coffee Cem. Moving south and east across the river, the map documents the locations of Rochester, Skelton, Crawleyville, and Hickory Ridge, along with the Le Gier - Lovellette Cem, providing a precise record of these community hubs and family landmarks.
