About this map

St. Francisville occupies a sharp bend in the river along the Illinois-Indiana border, serving as a focal point for this landscape where the Wabash River meanders through fertile lowlands and drainage networks. The area is defined by its complex water systems, including Big Slough, Raccoon Creek, and several ponds like Swan Pond and Wabash Pond that dominate the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Agricultural and rural heritage is evident in the numerous small family and community burial grounds dotting the countryside, such as the Stillwell Family Cem, Jordan Cem, and Armstrong Cem.

Allendale and the small settlement of Adams Corner anchor the southwestern portion of the map, connected by a grid of rural roads like Co Rd 1510 N. In the north, the Mount Carmel Municipal Airport provides a modern contrast to the surrounding fields and the sandy terrain of Sand Barrens. The map also captures the intricate boundary lines between Lawrence, Wabash, and Knox counties, tracing the natural and surveyed limits of these Illinois and Indiana communities.
