2012 Map of Athens
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Athens serves as the primary hub of this Central Illinois landscape, where the grid of the town meets the winding course of Town Br and the nearby Sangamon River. The area is characterized by a mix of agricultural plots and small residential clusters like Barr, North Wind, and Green Acres. A notable density of local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including West Cem, Joel Hall Cem, and Brittin Cem. The rural infrastructure is further highlighted by aviation markers such as Wilcoxon Airport and the Fisher Landing Strip. Water resources shape the southern reaches of the map, specifically around Cilca Lake and the recreational grounds of Camp Cilca, while Jefferies Orchard points to the continued importance of specialty agriculture in the region.
