About this map

The Green River meanders through the heart of McLean County, defining the landscape and historic settlement patterns of Calhoun and its southern neighbor Rumsey. This 2010 survey illustrates a region where water remains the central geographic feature, as the Green River is joined by significant tributaries including Eagle Creek, Pond River, and Cypress Creek. The river's winding path creates distinct landforms such as Johnson Island and influences the placement of riverfront communities like Ashbyburg.

Smaller rural crossroads and hamlets are scattered across the quadrangle, including the curiously named Poverty and Cleopatra. The map documents local aviation infrastructure with Smith Airport, A and L Airport, and Woosley Airport, while providing essential data for genealogists through the location of the Calhoun Cemetery and named rural routes like Leachman Schoolhouse Rd and Porter Schoolhouse Ln, which hint at former educational sites.
