About this map

Cadwell and Fairbanks anchor this rural landscape in Moultrie County, where a network of section-line roads and creek drainages defines the central Illinois prairie. The map documents several small settlements including Williamsburg, Cushman, and Chipps, often situated at key crossroads or along now-quiet railway corridors. The agricultural character of the region is punctuated by local landmarks like Seass Cem and the Durbin Airport in the southwest corner.

Water management is evident through features such as the Eagle Lake Basin and the winding course of Jonathan Cr, which is fed by Jonathan Br and Tuomile Br. These drainage patterns illustrate the natural hydrology of the area as it existed in the early 21st century. The map also traces established routes like Co HWY-10 and the east-west path of Highway 133, providing a clear record of local transit and land use for genealogists and researchers.
