2018 Map of Burnt Prairie

About this map

Fairfield anchors the northwest corner of this Southern Illinois landscape, where the flat agricultural plains are carved by the meandering paths of Johnson Creek and Pond Creek. The map documents a dense network of family history and early settlement patterns, preserved through numerous rural burial grounds like Kincheloe Cemetery and Atteberry Cemetery. In the south, the terrain follows the flow of Boyd Creek near the community of Mill Shoals, while Burnt Prairie sits near the eastern boundary where Wayne and White counties meet.
