About this map

Lake Clinton dominates the southern landscape of this DeWitt County survey, its irregular shoreline creating a complex network of points and inlets. The village of De Witt is situated just north of the lake's eastern reaches, serving as a central hub for the surrounding agricultural community. The terrain is defined by the North Fork Salt Creek, which feeds into the larger reservoir system near the Clinton Anglers Lakes.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous small burial grounds dispersed throughout the township, including Walters Cem, Johnson Cem, and Lisenby Cem. Smaller settlements like Birkbeck and Solomon are mapped along the section-line road network, providing a clear view of rural Illinois life in the mid-2010s. The presence of the Illinois Power facility near the lake shore highlights the region's role in local utility infrastructure.
