The Wabash River is a 503-mile-long river that drains most of the state of Indiana, and a significant part of Illinois. It flows from the headwaters in Ohio, near the Indiana border, then southwest across northern Indiana turning south near the Illinois border, where the southern portion forms the Indiana-Illinois border before flowing into the Ohio River. Like a lot of rural America, many of the once-charming and thriving towns nearby have seen better days. But there is corn, covered bridges, Amish, more corn, soybeans, more corn and more corn.
