2024 Map of Burnt Prairie

For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks. Numerous small burial grounds are scattered across the quadrangle, including Koontz Cem, Shaeffer Cem, Atteberry Cem, and Puckett Cem. These sites, often located near local water bodies like Briar Patch Lake or Cox Lake, mark the heritage of the families who settled this portion of Southern Illinois. The presence of Dozier Airport in the eastern section highlights the modern aviation infrastructure integrated into this traditionally agrarian environment.
