About this map

String Prairie and Baum anchor this rural landscape in Greene County, where a network of section-line roads and family cemeteries reveals the deep-rooted agricultural character of the Illinois interior. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern of creeks, notably the winding paths of Whitaker Cr and Bear Cr, which cut through the open prairie.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family burial grounds, including Hardin Cem, Hardcastle Cem, and Whitlock Cem near the banks of Taylor Cr. The map details a transition from the upland flats near Kahm to the more dissected drainages of Little Bear Rough and Sand Br, providing a clear look at the area's rural development and land use in the early 21st century.
