About this map

The Sangamon River and Illinois River converge in this riverine landscape, where the town of Beardstown sits on the southeastern bank. By the early 1980s, the area's infrastructure supported a mix of rail transport and river navigation, evidenced by the Burlington Northern and B & O railroads crossing the terrain near Muscooten Bay. The map reveals a complex system of sloughs and lakes, including Boujan Slough and Treadway Lake, highlighting the seasonal shifts of these major waterways.
