2021 Map of Altamont West
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
St Elmo and the western outskirts of Altamont anchor this southern Illinois landscape at the border of Fayette and Effingham counties. The map reveals a rural transition between structured agricultural grids and the winding drainage basins of Moccasin Cr and Sugar Cr. This modern survey documents a deep-rooted community fabric through numerous local burial grounds, including the Rhodes Family Cem and Crums Chapel Cem. The infrastructure of the region is defined by the east-west corridor of E Cumberland Rd and the presence of the Saint Elmo Old City Reservoir, which alongside Lake Timberline and Kuebler RLA Airport, marks the local industrial and recreational footprint. The dense network of county roads, such as Co RD 2400 N, illustrates the persistent township and range system that continues to organize this prairie terrain.
