2018 Map of Effingham North

About this map

Effingham serves as the focal point of this Illinois survey, positioned at the convergence of major transit corridors and the upper reaches of the Little Wabash River. The city's northward expansion is marked by residential developments like Shenandoah Ave and E Cadillac Dr, while the surrounding countryside maintains its agricultural character across the Shelby Co and Effingham Co line. Significant water features including Lake Sara and Lake Pauline define the southwestern and central portions of the landscape, providing local landmarks for both recreation and geography. Genealogists will find a high density of preserved burial sites throughout the townships, from the Effingham City Cem and Saint Anthony Catholic Cem near the city center to the rural Mound Cem, Ramsey Cem, and Rentfrow Cem. The map also documents smaller outlying communities such as Green Creek and Sigel, situated amidst a network of creeks including Hog Cr, Rattlesnake Cr, and Sugar Fork.
