2024 Map of Cornland

About this map

The agricultural divide between Sangamon and Logan counties defines this landscape, where the small settlements of Cornland and Buffalo Hart serve as central points for the surrounding rural communities. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Lake Fork and North Fork Clear Creek, which break up the geometric precision of the township and range road system. For those tracing family histories in the area, several burial grounds are preserved across the quadrangle, including the Buffalo Grove Cem and Constant Cem. The road network, though modern, still follows historical paths like Prairie School Rd and Constant Cemetery Rd, reflecting the locations of early rural institutions that once anchored these prairie townships. The map illustrates a stable, productive landscape where the legacy of early Illinois settlement remains visible in the names of the creeks and cemeteries that dot the countryside.
