2015 Map of Chandlerville

About this map

The Sangamon River meanders across this Central Illinois landscape, defining the boundary between Mason and Cass Counties. In the north, the river plain is marked by a complex system of sloughs and backwater lakes, including Wolf Lake, Calomel Lake, and Johnson Slough. The village of Chandlerville serves as the primary hub in the south, situated where the flat river bottom meets the dissected uplands of Maxmillian Hollow. This transition is underscored by the dense network of drainage features like Fairview Ditch and Panther Creek, which reflect the region's agricultural history and long-term water management. Family history and local heritage are preserved in several rural burial grounds such as Roat Cemetery and Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery, while small settlements like Snicarte and Saidora anchor the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
