About this map

The Wabash River forms the serpentine state boundary between Illinois and Indiana, defining the character of this riverine landscape. On the western bank, the village of Russellville sits near the water, surrounded by a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including Tevealt Cem, Price Cem, and Lagow Cem. The land is heavily modified for drainage, marked by systems like Taylor Ditch and Otter Pond Ditch which navigate the low-lying terrain near Miller Pond and Swan Island.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the expansive Lawrenceville-Vincennes International Airport occupies a large footprint, contrasting with the rural settlement at Davy to the north. For genealogists and local historians, the numerous documented cemeteries—such as Higgins Cem, Ferrell Cem, and Centerville Cem—provide a clear record of the area's ancestral homesteads. The infrastructure reflects a mix of traditional river life and modern aviation, with the smaller Ed-Air Airport situated further east across the state line.
