About this map

Arthur serves as the primary hub of this Illinois prairie landscape, where the grid of rural township roads meets a growing commercial center featuring an Industrial Park. The area is defined by the headwaters and branches of the Kaskaskia River, including the W Fork Kaskaskia River and its tributary Bolin Br. These waterways cut through a productive agricultural layout, with the small settlements of Chesterville and Bourbon marking historical crossroads nearby.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented across the terrain, reflecting the region's religious and community heritage. These include the Yoder Cem, Fillmore Cem, and the Sunnyside Mennonite Cem near the eastern edge of the survey. The presence of the Pleasant View Churchyard Cem further south points to the established rural congregations that have long anchored this part of Douglas County.
