Editing Sullivan County, Indiana (section)

==Geography==
Sullivan County lies on the west edge of Indiana; its western border abuts the state of Illinois (across the Wabash River). The meanders of the Wabash delineate the county's west border. The upper part of the county is drained by Turtle Creek, which flows southwestward into the river. The lower part of the county is similarly drained by Busseron Creek.

The county's abundant woods were largely cleared and devoted to agriculture during the nineteenth century. At present only the drainages remain wooded.<ref>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Sullivan+County,+IN/@39.1204608,-87.55021,66780m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x886d8f02f832b2bf:0x48bd6ce3f46478ef!8m2!3d39.0843122!4d-87.4207518 ''Sullivan County IN'' (Google Maps, accessed 4 November 2020)]</ref> Its highest point ({{convert|640|ft|m|abbr=off|disp=x|/|sp=us}} ASL) is a small rise {{convert|6|mi|km|spell=in}} east of Carlisle.<ref>[https://www.peakbagger.com/peak.aspx?pid=23012 ''Sullivan County High Point, Indiana'' (PeakBagger.com, accessed 4 November 2020)]</ref>
