2010 Map of Russellville

About this map

The Wabash River meanders along the border of Illinois and Indiana, defining the eastern edge of this landscape where the village of Russellville sits near a prominent river bend. This 2010 topographic record highlights a region characterized by carefully managed drainage and agricultural history, visible through features like Niblack Levee, Taylor Ditch, and Ditch Number 2. The sheer number of family-named burial grounds across the quadrangle, including Higgins Cemetery, Tobey Cemetery, and Ferrell Cemetery, suggests a long-established rural community with deep genealogical roots. To the southwest, the modern infrastructure of the Lawrenceville-Vincennes International Airport provides a sharp contrast to the natural curves of Old Busseron Creek and the river islands like Swan Island. This map serves as an essential tool for tracing local history, documenting both the legacy of early settlers and the engineering of the river valley.
