1982 Map of Cornland

About this map

Buffalo Hart and Cornland serve as the primary focal points of this central Illinois landscape, straddling the border between Logan and Sangamon Counties. The area is defined by its deep agricultural roots and the infrastructure of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, which cuts a diagonal path through the prairie. Water management is evident along the Lake Fork, where a Gaging Station monitors the drainage of the surrounding townships. For those researching local family history, several small burial grounds are documented, including Turley Cem in the northeast and Township Cem to the south. The presence of the Buffalo Hart Ch near the village center highlights the traditional community structure of the late 1970s and early 1980s, while the detailed marking of fence and field lines provides a rare look at the exact parceling of farmland during this era.
