The Embarras River and its tributaries carve a winding path through the agricultural landscape of south-central Illinois, defining the rural character of the borderlands between Champaign Co and Douglas Co. The drainage network, including Black Slough and the East Branch Embarras River, dictates the placement of the region's historic infrastructure. Higher ground is reserved for long-standing rural landmarks like Saint Marys Cem and Jessee Cem, which serve as permanent records of the early families who settled this fertile prairie.
