2021 Map of Butler

About this map

Lake Lou Yaeger dominates the western landscape of this Montgomery County region, where the reservoir's fingers stretch into the terrain near Litchfield. This modern topographical study captures a network of small Illinois communities including Butler, Hillsboro, and Taylor Springs. The map reveals a land defined by its water and industry, notably featuring the American Zinc Smelter Company Large Lake at the southern edge. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous burial sites, such as Wares Grove Cem and Blooming Grove Cem, scattered along the rural road grid. The geography is punctuated by elevations like Cress Hill and Huber Hill, while the West Fork Shoal Creek and Brush Cr provide natural drainage between the established town centers and smaller landmarks like Justison Airport.
