About this map

Mount Carmel sits at the strategic confluence of the Wabash River and the White River, a location long defined by the movement of goods and people across the Illinois-Indiana border. The 2015 landscape shows a developed educational and civic center, anchored by the Illinois Eastern Community Colleges-Wabash Valley College and several large memorial grounds including Highland Memorial Cem and Rose Hill Cem. Further west, the rail corridor utilized by the Norfolk Southern cuts through the river valley near Beckerman Field.

Outside the city center, the terrain is dotted with small rural settlements like Friendsville, Maud, and Odgen. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites across the countryside, such as the Woods Family Cem, Beauchamp and Harper Cem, and Hallock Cem. The map also captures the intricate river geography near the state line, featuring Patoka Island and the mouth of Sugar Creek.
