About this map

Lewis and Blackhawk anchor this landscape along the border of Vigo and Sullivan counties, where agricultural grids meet a complex network of wetlands and creeks. The terrain is marked by distinct rises such as Trimmer Hill and Yaw Hill, while the drainage of Busseron Creek and Splunge Cr dictates the local geography. A notable remnant of nineteenth-century infrastructure, the Wabash and Erie Canal, is still visible in the northeastern corner, tracing a path near Hickory Grove Pond.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Liberty Cem, Donham Cem, and Stephens Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural sections. Modern recreational and transit features, such as the Griffin Bike Park Trail near Sanford Hill and the Aero Plaines Airport, demonstrate how the area has evolved while maintaining its character as a quiet interior region defined by settlements like Brown Jug Corner and Keller.
