2018 Map of Arthur

About this map

Arthur serves as the primary hub of this East Central Illinois landscape, where the tri-county corner of Moultrie, Douglas, and Coles counties meets. The village street grid is densely developed, extending south of Industrial Park along the North-South Co Hwy 12 corridor. This region is defined by its methodical agricultural layout and the intricate drainage of the upper Kaskaskia watershed. The W Fork Kaskaskia River and Lake Fork wind through the flatlands, eventually joining the main channel of the Kaskaskia River near the eastern edge of the quadrangle. Small rural centers like Chesterville and Bourbon remain focal points for local transport. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved among the fields, including Yoder Cem, Miller Cem, and Fillmore Cem, which mark the presence of early family settlements and faith communities in this fertile prairie district.
