Old Shawneetown and its successor settlement, Shawneetown, occupy a critical bend in the Ohio River where the landscape transitions from river bottomlands to the prominent Shawneetown Hills. This survey illustrates the distinct relocation of the town from its original riverfront site to higher ground, a shift driven by the area's history of flooding. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the Shawnee National Forest, encompassing significant elevations like Gold Hill and the drainage of the Saline River.
