2018 Map of New Haven

About this map

The Little Wabash River winds through the borderlands of White and Gallatin Counties, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and agricultural upland. This 2018 survey documents the enduring rural character of settlements like New Haven, Herald, and Iron, where local history is anchored by numerous small burial grounds including Garrison Family Cem, Green Cem, and Moore Cem. The southern reach of the map is dominated by the community of Cottonwood, home to the Cottonwood Presbyterian Church. The eastern edge reveals the river’s complex hydrology, featuring the horseshoe turn at Winners Bend and the broad, marshy expanses of Goose Pond Swamp and Cattail Slough. Small-scale aviation is represented by Sutton Airport, while the grid of county roads, such as Co RD 200 N, provides the primary framework for this Southern Illinois river valley.
