About this map

Buffalo Hart and Cornland serve as the primary hubs for this agricultural landscape, situated along the county line between Logan Co and Sangamon Co. The terrain is characterized by a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Buffalo Hart Cem, Constant Cem, Turley Cem, and Cass Cem. These landmarks, often situated along rural corridors like Constant Cemetery Rd, provide valuable anchor points for genealogical research in this part of Illinois.

Drainage systems such as Lake Fork and the N Fork Clear Cr dictate the local topography, which is largely organized around an extensive grid of numbered avenues and named roads. The presence of Prairie School Rd hints at the location of former rural education centers that once anchored the surrounding farmsteads. The infrastructure reflects a deeply rooted prairie farming economy, with transit routes like Sherman Rd and Cass Rd connecting the scattered homesteads to the central rail and grain elevators.
