About this map

Saint Elmo serves as the primary hub of this landscape, its grid of streets anchored by Maplewood Cem and the Saint Elmo Old City Reservoir. The surrounding countryside is defined by small agricultural clusters such as Magnolia Corner and various named family farms, including Moll Farms and Diamond A Farms. This area of Effingham County is notably dense with burial grounds that offer significant value for genealogical research, ranging from the Rhodes Family Cem to the Bethlehem Cem near the southern edge.

Waterways like Sugar Cr and Moccasin Cr cross the township lines, dictating the placement of rural roads and early settlements. Transport infrastructure is represented by the Kuebler RLA Airport, while local recreation is centered around the St Elmo Country Clb. The map provides a clear picture of the transition from the organized town center of Saint Elmo to the sprawling agricultural tracts of Southmore Heights and beyond.
