About this map

Broadlands and Allerton anchor this agricultural landscape at the close of the 20th century, situated near the intersection of several county lines including Champaign, Vermilion, Douglas, and Edgar. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with the Little Vermilion River flowing through the northern half while the East Branch Embarras River cuts across the south.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific landmarks such as the Lost Grove Cem in the northwest and Sch No 6 near Broadlands. Smaller named points like Hastings and the Jordan Slu provide fine-grained detail for researchers tracing property lines or community development in east-central Illinois. The map captures a moment before major culture or drainage changes, preserving the spatial relationship between these rural townships and the watercourses that shaped them, such as Goodall Branch.
