2018 Map of Butler

About this map

Lake Lou Yaeger dominates the northwest quadrant of this Montgomery County landscape, its irregular shoreline reaching deep into the agricultural terrain between Litchfield and Butler. This survey captures the transition from the concentrated residential streets of Hillsboro to the expansive industrial footprint represented by the American Zinc Smelter Company Large Lake near Taylor Springs. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies numerous historic burial grounds including Ware's Grove Cem, Butler Cem, and Saint Agnes Cem north of Hillsboro. Topographic landmarks like Cress Hill and Huber Hill rise above the drainage systems of Brush Cr and Cress Cr, illustrating the natural relief of the Illinois prairie alongside modern features such as Justison Airport.
