About this map

The Wabash River carves a sweeping path along the boundary between Illinois and Indiana, defining the eastern character of this Lawrence and Wabash County landscape. Near the river's bend, St. Francisville serves as a local hub, while the interior is dotted with small agricultural settlements like Allendale and Adams Corner. The region's history is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including the Stillwell Family Cem and Oak Lawn Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracking early families in the area.

Transportation and land use are clearly defined by the grid of rural roads and the presence of the Mount Carmel Municipal Airport. Unique geographic features such as the Sand Barrens and the low-lying waters of Big Slough and Swan Pond highlight the varied terrain near the river valley. The map also records the location of the small rail-aligned settlement of Beal and the distinctive river turn at Catfish Bend.
