2012 Map of Chatsworth South

About this map

The S Fork Vermillion River meanders across this rural Illinois landscape, defining the agricultural character of Livingston County. The small settlement of Cereal serves as a central point in a grid of section roads that partition the fertile plains. This 2012 survey illustrates the persistence of early land divisions and community anchors, such as Saint Patrick's Catholic Cem near the northern boundary and Germanville Cem further south. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Chatsworth RLA Airport, while drainage features like the Big Four Ditch highlight the intensive water management necessary for large-scale prairie farming. The map also identifies localized water features like Turtle Pond, which break the geometric regularity of the surrounding fields.
