1983 Map of Bement
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The village of Bement serves as the central hub of this central Illinois landscape, where the Norfolk and Western railway corridor dictates the layout of the town and surrounding farmland. As a 1983 provisional survey, the map captures the community’s infrastructure including the High Sch, the Bement Cem, and a dedicated Forest Preserve on the village's eastern edge. The surrounding terrain is defined by engineered water management and aviation, with the Hammond Mutual Ditch and Lake Fork draining the agricultural flats while private aviation facilities like the Bartram Landing Strip and Triple Creek Landing Strip appear in the southern sections. This survey documents the transition of the Illinois prairie into a highly organized grid of township boundaries and transportation routes during the late twentieth century.
