Belle Prairie City and the surrounding southern Illinois prairie land are documented here in the mid-1970s, showing a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of country cemeteries. Local family history is preserved through markers like Rawls Cem, Crouch Cem, and Cherry Grove Cem, while the ecclesiastical life of the area is represented by Smith Chapel. The terrain is drained by several prominent watercourses including Auxier Creek, Big Creek, and the curiously named Cabbage Patch Drain.
