No towns meet the criteria for “Indiana – Illinois Bordering Towns.”
Define the rule exactly and expect this result. Require an incorporated town whose legal municipal boundary physically touches the Indiana–Illinois state line (or lies within 0.5 mile). Under that strict rule, no incorporated place qualifies. Many communities sit very near the line, but they stop short of touching it as a legal municipal boundary.
Understand why this strict filter produces an empty list. State lines often follow rivers, county lines, or other features that leave only unincorporated land or industrial property right on the boundary. Indiana and Illinois use different legal forms (town, city, village, township), so a place that looks like a “town” on a map may not meet the legal test. Also, some border communities pair up across the line (twin towns) without a single municipal area crossing the state line.
Consider close alternatives and useful lists instead. Provide towns within 0.5–5 miles of the line, county seats near the border, unincorporated communities that sit on riverbanks, or “twin” towns across from each other. For comparison, look at famous border-straddling cities like Texarkana (TX/AR) or Kansas City (MO/KS) to see what a true line-crossing municipality looks like. Explore an interactive map, GNIS/Census TIGER data, or a sortable table of near-border places as the next step.
