About this map

Coulterville and the surrounding farmland of Randolph County define this 2012 landscape, where the prairie tradition meets modern infrastructure. The village serves as a central hub, connected to the smaller settlements of Swanwick and McKinley through a grid of roads named for local families and flora, such as Roosevelt Rd and Tigerlilly Rd. Water management is a visible priority for the community, seen in the City Reservoir and the appropriately named The Lake situated just north of the town center.

The terrain is marked by the expansive Grande Cote Prairie, a reminder of the region's natural history before it was partitioned into the current agricultural layout. Small cemeteries like Bethel Cem and localized landmarks like the Post Office in Swanwick provide essential points of interest for genealogists tracing roots in this corner of Illinois. A network of waterways including Mud Cr and Galum Cr branch across the countryside, feeding into local landmarks like Foertch Pond.
