The Big Muddy River meanders across the southern portion of this Illinois landscape, defining a complex topography of lowlands and ridges. This 2015 study captures the area's transition from the wooded expanses of the Shawnee National Forest to the managed waters of Kinkaid Lake and Lake Murphysboro. The settlement of Oraville sits in the northeast near Rattlesnake Creek, while Grimsby anchors the southwestern corner along the river corridor.
