About this map

New Harmony anchors the southern bend of the Wabash River in this detailed survey of the Indiana-Illinois borderlands. The landscape is defined by the river's wandering path, leaving behind complex water features like the Old Channel Wabash River, Rattling Slough, and Lost Lake. These hydrologic shifts have created large land masses such as Kingdom Island and Bull Island, which illustrate the dynamic nature of the state boundary.

Settlement patterns follow the higher ground and river crossings, evident at the village of Griffin and the site of New Baltimore. Historical transit points are preserved through labels like Webbs Ferry and the New Harmony Bridge, while the surrounding bottomlands are dotted with features like Goose Pond and Poplar Ridge, reflecting the agricultural and topographical character of the Lower Wabash Valley.
