2024 Map of Athens
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Athens serves as a primary population center in this Central Illinois landscape, situated just north of the Sangamon River valley. The map reveals a high density of rural burial sites for researchers to trace, including the Old West Cem, Joel Hall Cem, and the Strode Cem located near the small community of Andrew. The terrain is defined by the branching waterways of Cantrall Creek and Fancy Creek, which carve through the agricultural tablelands between the settlements of Cantrall and Barr. In the southwestern corner, the man-made Cilca Lake and the natural oxbow of Halfmoon Lake highlight the hydrological diversity of the river bottomlands. This modern survey reflects a region where traditional land divisions and family-named roads, such as Shanghi Ln and Hackman Rd, persist alongside modern developments like Green Acres.
