About this map

Bushnell and Prairie City anchor this central Illinois landscape, where the flat upland agricultural fields are deeply dissected by a network of creeks. The eastern outskirts of Bushnell show a transition from the grid of E Osborne St and E Hail St to the rural expanse of McDonough and Fulton counties. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Drowning Fork and Silver Cr, which carve through the till plain.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the townships, including Bushnell City Cem, Mound Cem, and the small Peirsol Cem near Manley. To the southeast, the village of Marietta sits near Lake Wildwood Haven, illustrating the late 20th-century development of recreational water features within the traditional farming landscape. Smaller hamlets like Checkrow remain visible, linked by a system of township and county roads that follow the historic section lines of the Public Land Survey System.
