1953 Map of Wabash Island

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Wabash Island dominates the confluence where the Wabash R meets the Ohio River, marking a complex junction of Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky state lines. In the early 1950s, this riverine landscape was defined by its industrial and navigational infrastructure, including a Pvt Ferry crossing the Wabash and a protective Breakwater along the shore. The inland portion of the island shows evidence of resource extraction with an Oil Well located near its center. On the Kentucky side, local life centers around the Reburn Ch and the winding course of Sibley Creek. This survey captures the specific geography of the tri-state border before modern navigation projects significantly altered the natural flow of these major waterways.
