2018 Map of Altamont West
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
St. Elmo and the western outskirts of Altamont anchor this survey of the South-Central Illinois prairie, where the Fayette and Effingham county line divides the landscape. This region is defined by a dense network of country roads and family landmarks, including the Rhodes Family Cem and Crums Chapel Cem, reflecting generations of rural settlement. The geography is carved by numerous waterways like Wolf Cr and Sugar Cr, which feed into local reservoirs such as the Saint Elmo Old City Reservoir. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Kuebler RLA Airport, situated amidst agricultural tracts. Further south, Lake Nellie and Lake Timberline offer localized hydrology points, while the historic corridor of E Cumberland Rd provides a primary east-west artery through the township divisions of t7n r3e and t7n r4e.
