1966 Map of Merom
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Wabash River carves a winding path through this mid-1960s borderland, defining the boundary between Illinois and Indiana. The settlement of Merom occupies a prominent position near Merom Bluff, overlooking a landscape of active resource extraction and agriculture. To the south, the industrial presence of Riverton is marked by a Conveyor and Gravel Pit along the riverbanks, while the Central Illinois rail line links the river crossings to the interior. Genealogical data is particularly dense here, with numerous family and community burial grounds such as Mann Cem, Massey Cem, and Old French Cem scattered across the township lines. The floodplain is complex, featuring secondary channels and landforms like Merom Island, Eagle Island, and the quiet waters of Clear Pond and Minnow Slough.
