About this map

The village of Dieterich anchors the eastern edge of this Effingham County landscape as it appeared in the late 1990s. The terrain is defined by a dense drainage network where Little Salt Creek and Brush Creek converge, flowing south toward the larger Bishop Creek. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the era, including the small settlement of Evers and the southern hamlet of Elliottstown near the border of Lucas township.

Evidence of local resource extraction is visible through scattered Oil Wells and a Drill Hole in the central township areas. The map details civil divisions across the quadrangle, including portions of Watson, Bishop, and St Francis, providing a clear look at the township and range system that organized this agricultural and oil-producing region. Utility and transport features like the Pumping Station and Substation highlight the modern development layered over these historic rural communities.
