About this map

Lake Clinton dominates this portion of Central Illinois, its complex shoreline winding through a landscape shaped by utility infrastructure and agricultural tracts. The village of De Witt sits at the intersection of Old Clinton Rd and Market St, serving as a local hub near the Illinois Power facilities. To the north and west, smaller settlements like Birkbeck and Solomon are connected by a rigid grid of county roads, including Co Hwy-16 and Co Hwy-10.

Genealogical interest is found in a series of family-named burial grounds scattered across the township, such as Walters Cem, Lisenby Cem, and Griffith Cem. The hydrology is defined by the flow of Salt Cr and Coon Cr, which feed into the larger reservoirs and smaller pools like Carter Pond and Lake Shinneman. This survey also documents local landmarks such as Camp Quest and the wooded area of Lakewood.
