About this map

Witt stands as the primary settlement in this agricultural section of Montgomery County, situated at the intersection of local rail lines. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois Central Illinois railroad cuts through the northwestern corner, anchoring the town's connection to the regional economy. Beyond the village limits, the landscape is defined by the winding course of East Fork Shoal Creek and the prominent rise of Bald Knob. Rural life in the mid-1970s is evidenced by several scattered landmarks, including Woodside Ch and Bost Hill Ch, alongside family-named burial grounds like Armentrout Cem. Aviation infrastructure is also noted through small private facilities such as the McNeely Landing Strip, reflecting a period where localized transport and farming were closely integrated.
