About this map

Vincennes sits at a historic bend of the Wabash River, where the border between Indiana and Illinois is defined by the water's edge. This 2019 survey captures the city's dense layout of civic and religious landmarks, most notably the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park and the sprawling campus of Vincennes University. The urban landscape is marked by a significant concentration of memorial sites, including the Old Cathedral Cem and B'nai Israel Cem, reflecting a long history of diverse communities in this river crossing.

Across the river in Lawrence County, Illinois, the Robeson Hills rise above the alluvial plains of the Vincennes Prairie. The map illustrates a complex drainage system featuring the Allison Ditch network and Beaver Pond, essential for managing the low-lying terrain. Transportation remains anchored by the Lincoln Memorial Bridge and the CSX Transportation rail lines, which connect the settlements of Westport and Bunker Hill to the regional economy.
