2018 Map of Easton

About this map

Easton and the small settlement of Teheran anchor this central Illinois landscape, defined by a complex network of agricultural drainage and natural water systems. The southern edge of the map follows the winding course of the Sangamon River and Salt Creek, marking the boundary between Mason and Menard counties. The region's history is traced through numerous rural burial grounds, such as New Hope Cemetery and Leases Grove Cemetery, which are scattered among the fields. Extensive human engineering is evident in the many named waterways like Sleepy Hollow Ditch and Samuels Ditch, designed to manage the low-lying terrain near Herget Bottoms. Local geography is punctuated by small water bodies including Agnew Lake, Smith Lake, and Revis Lake, while the evocative Sleepy Hollow provides a natural landmark within the township grid.
