1982 Map of Assumption
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The agrarian plains of Central Illinois are defined here by a network of drainage branches and a legacy of oil exploration. The Illinois Central Gulf railroad serves as a central artery, connecting the towns of Moweaqua and Assumption across the Christian Co Shelby Co line. Local history is anchored by sites like St Marys Cem and High Sch in the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the presence of the Consolidated Field and Assumption Field reflects the region's energy production history. Between the watercourses of Flat Branch and Big George Branch, the landscape transitions from traditional farming to specialized uses, including the Motion Raceway near the railroad tracks and various Oil Wells scattered near Seigfried. Small family landmarks like Bilyeu Cem and Hayes Cem provide touchstones for genealogical research in this rural landscape.
