1965 Map of Vincennes
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Wabash River serves as a stark natural boundary between the city of Vincennes, Indiana, and the expansive bottomlands of Allison Prairie in Illinois. This riverfront landscape is defined by its deep historical roots, featuring the George Rogers Clark State Memorial and the campus of Vincennes University near the Lincoln Memorial Bridge. The town grid is rich with genealogical and community landmarks, including the St Rose Academy, Sacred Heart Sch, and numerous burial grounds like Fairview Cemetery and Greenlawn Cemetery. To the west, the flat Illinois terrain is carved by the Allison Ditch and protected by the Brevoort Levee, highlighting the ongoing effort to manage the flood-prone plains while maintaining vital transportation links via the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Louisville and Nashville RR.
