2015 Map of Arrowsmith

About this map

Ellsworth and Arrowsmith anchor this central Illinois landscape, which is defined by the headwaters of the Sangamon River and the winding course of Money Cr. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain meticulously organized by a grid of rural roads, including E 1400 N Rd and N 3000 E Rd, reflecting the region's enduring agricultural layout. A notable point of geographic interest is Dawson Lake, which provides a significant break in the surrounding topography. For those interested in local history and genealogy, the map identifies several small burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as Frankeberger Cem, Dawson Cem, and Barnes Cem, each serving as a marker of the families who established these townships. The spatial relationship between these sites and the nearby Arrowsmith Township Cem illustrates the early settlement patterns that emerged along the river valleys and prairie rises.
