2015 Map of West Union

About this map

The Wabash River forms a dynamic eastern boundary in this Illinois-Indiana borderland, where the York Cutoff and Old Channel Lake reveal the shifting hydrology of the river valley. The landscape is dotted with long-established cemeteries such as Guyer Cem, Bailiff Cem, and Shawler Cem, providing valuable spatial data for family historians and genealogists. Small settlements like West Union, West York, and York serve as local hubs for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The terrain is defined by the drainage systems of the N Fork Raccoon Cr and S Fork Raccoon Cr, which carve through the prairie towards the river. A network of rural roads, including Wilderness Rd and Angling Rd, connects the isolated farms and community landmarks across this quiet corner of Clark and Crawford counties.
