1985 Map of Annapolis
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
Annapolis sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in southeastern Illinois, where the flatlands of Prairie and Licking townships meet a dense network of watercourses. The local economy is defined by a mix of farming and resource extraction, with an active Oil Field situated north of the town center near Melrose. This industrial activity is contrasted by the winding paths of North Fork Raccoon Creek and South Fork Raccoon Creek as they drain the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Smaller rural settlements like Orange serve as anchor points along the section lines, while several Cem sites provide vital data for genealogists tracking early families in Clark and Crawford Counties. The terrain is further etched by numerous tributaries including Maple Creek, Big Creek, and Little Willow Creek, reflecting a typical midwestern drainage pattern.
