About this map

Coffeen Lake dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its dendritic fingers reaching into the surrounding Illinois prairie. This 2011 imagery-based survey illustrates a rural region centered on the town of Coffeen, where the local street grid including N Elm St and Barry St meets the rail corridor. Further west, the village of Donnellson sits near the intersection of several local routes, serving as a secondary hub for the agricultural community.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites across the township, from the County Farm Cem in the north to the Edwards Chapel Cem and McDavid Point Cem. These sites, along with the named drainage systems like Yankee Cr and Elm Point Branch, provide a stable geographical framework for tracing family roots in Montgomery County. The map also documents the modern road network, which follows the traditional section lines typical of the Midwest.
