Murphysboro and its outlying communities are depicted here along the meandering course of the Big Muddy River. This 2012 survey illustrates the intersection of small-town life and the natural waterways of Jackson County, where the river winds past Texas Junction and the settlement of Mount Carbon. The landscape is characterized by a high density of burial grounds, including the large Murphysboro City Cem and the Murdale Gardens of Memory, which provide significant points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
