1998 Map of Coffeenn

About this map

Industrial infrastructure and rural landscapes intersect along the shores of Coffeen Lake, where the Powerplant Stack and an extensive Conveyor system dominate the central terrain. This late-twentieth-century landscape preserves a network of small settlements like Coffeen and Taylor Springs, while the surrounding countryside in Hillsboro and Grisham townships is dotted with numerous family and community burial grounds, including the McDavid Point Cem and the County Farm Cem. The map illustrates the specialized water management required for regional industry, featuring several Ash Disposal Ponds and Sewage Disposal Ponds. Natural drainage is provided by Shoal Creek and the East Fork, which wind through the irregular topography of La Grange and East Fork townships, reflecting the transition from agricultural use to modern utility operations.
