About this map

Dieterich anchors this landscape of southern Effingham County, where the intersection of W Center St and N Main St serves as the local hub. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense grid of township roads that navigate around the winding paths of Bishop Cr, Little Salt Cr, and Dieterich Cr. This drainage network carves subtle elevation changes into the agricultural flats, creating the wooded corridors that contrast with the open fields.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including Saint Aloysius Cem and Saint Paul Lutheran Cem, which reflect the region's enduring rural congregations. The small settlements of Elliottstown in the south and Evers along the railroad in the north represent the historic scattered-community pattern of central Illinois. This 2015 survey provides a contemporary view of these long-established townships as they balance modern road infrastructure with traditional land use.
