About this map

Edinburg and its surrounding Christian County landscape are defined by the winding course of the S Fork Sangamon River and the artificial waters of Sangchris Lake. This 2012 survey illustrates a region where agriculture and resource extraction coexist, notably at the Berry Oil Field and the Edinburg West Oil Field. The village of Berry sits at the junction of Old State Hwy 29 and Clarksville RD, serving as a focal point alongside other small settlements like Breckenridge and Blueville.

Genealogists and local researchers will find an unusually high concentration of rural burial grounds, including Oak Hill Cem, Furrow Cem, and Finley Cem, the latter situated near the shoreline of the lake. Aviation infrastructure is visible through smaller facilities like Taft Airport and Tommy's Airpark, while recreational areas such as Deer Run Campground and Hickory Point Campground highlight the transition of the river valleys into modern leisure spaces.
