About this map

The North Fork Embarras River winds through this central Illinois landscape, serving as a primary drainage corridor between the established settlements of Casey and Martinsville. Surveyed in the early 1980s, the map reveals a region defined by agricultural production and industrial extraction, with a massive Quarry and Gravel Pit south of the main town. These features, along with the Quarry Branch and Turkey Run tributaries, illustrate the importance of local geological resources to the area's development.

Rural infrastructure is well-documented, including a Sub Station, Pumping Station, and multiple Tower sites that supported the late-20th-century expansion of these Clark County communities. The northern reaches of Little Creek and Willis Branch carve through the townships of Parker and Martinsville, showing the persistent section-line road network that has organized this prairie terrain for generations.
