About this map

Washington County Lake and the surrounding Washington County State Conservation Area dominate the southwestern quadrant of this mid-1970s landscape. This region of Illinois is characterized by a mix of agricultural utility and energy extraction, with the Beaucoup Oil Field and Du Bois Oil Field marked by numerous wells and a network of pipelines. The local infrastructure is anchored by the Nashville city limits and the smaller settlement of Beaucoup, connected by the Louisville and Nashville transit corridor. Genealogists will find a high density of small burial grounds, including Old County Cem, Kennedy Cem, and St Annes Cem. In addition to traditional farming and industry, unique local landmarks like the Becks Farm Landing Strip and a Quarry indicate the varied uses of the Washington County terrain during this era.
