2010 Map of Merom

About this map

Merom Bluff stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the Wabash River, which forms the winding border between Indiana and Illinois. This 2010 survey details the riverside town of Merom and the nearby Palestine Post Office across the water. The landscape is defined by the river’s dynamic movement, evidenced by the creation of Merom Island and Eagle Island, alongside drainage features like Minnow Slough and Turman Creek. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, including the Old French Cemetery, Mann Cemetery, and Kitchell Cemetery. The presence of the Merom Ferry crossing point highlights a long-standing transportation link between Crawford County and Sullivan County, while the agricultural character of the region is reflected in the expanse of Turman Prairie and the extensive network of county roads.
