2024 Map of Mount Erie
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Mount Erie and the surrounding farmland sit at the crossroads of several drainage networks where the Little Wabash River winds through the southern Illinois interior. This landscape is defined by its rural cemeteries, including Travers Cem, Scott Cem, and Moutray Cem, which serve as vital markers for family history and the early settlement patterns of Wayne and Edwards counties. The river's meandering course creates distinctive terrain features like Totten Bend and Rutgers Bluff, while the northern reaches of the map include the community of Wynoose and the Farm Service Agency Interest of Illinois. In the east, the Fox River and Bennington reflect a region deeply tied to its hydrology, with an intricate system of ditches and branches like Jones Ditch and Clear Pond Ditch managing the low-lying prairie land for agriculture.
