2018 Map of Bald Knob

About this map

Witt occupies the northern edge of this Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid of Montgomery County meets the winding drainage of E Fork Shoal Cr. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history preserved through numerous burial grounds, including Witt Cem, Gooseneck Cem, and Armentrout Cem. These sites, alongside landmarks like Woodside Cem and Bost Hill Cem, provide essential anchor points for genealogists tracing early regional settlements. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes, most notably at Bald Knob in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by the rural road system and the specialized Hoehn RLA Airport, reflecting the modern agricultural and aviation character of the area. Significant watercourses such as Hurricane Cr and Dry Fork carve through the prairie, defining the local hydrology and farm boundaries.
