About this map

The Ohio River forms the northern boundary of this Kentucky-Illinois borderland, where the Illinois Central railroad cuts a diagonal path toward the settlement of Repton. The landscape is defined by deep drainages and named ridges, with local life centered around rural institutions like Browns Sch and Forest Grove Sch, as well as the Green Chapel Ch and Mt Zion Ch. The river's influence is evident at Fords Ferry and the small riverfront community of Weston.

Geological and historical features are scattered throughout the hills, including the Obie Mound and a series of named bluffs and knobs such as Cain Bluff and Graves Knob. Industrial activity is noted at the Wilson Quarry near the eastern edge. For genealogists, several family-named burial grounds are documented, including Lamb Cem, Walker Cem, and Baker Cem, providing a clear record of the families who settled this rugged stretch of Crittenden County.
