2021 Map of Maunie

About this map

The Wabash River meanders along the border of White County, Illinois, and Posey County, Indiana, defining a landscape of complex waterways and fertile bottomlands. Centered on the village of Maunie, this survey illustrates the river's dynamic nature through features like Ribeyre Island and Old Channel Wabash River, which reflect former paths of the current. The terrain is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Jones Family Cem, Hanna Cem, and Big Prairie Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research. Inland, the grid of county roads connects agricultural settlements like Epworth and Garnerville. Ancient human presence is noted at Aldrich Mound and Thompson Mound near the river's edge, while Grand Chain Rapids indicate historical navigational challenges along the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
