The Little Wabash River and its numerous tributaries, including Rattlesnake Creek and Shoal Creek, carve a complex drainage pattern through the glacial till of this central Illinois landscape. This mid-1980s record captures the northern periphery of Effingham as it expanded into the surrounding rural townships. The map reflects a blend of traditional agricultural land use and mid-century leisure developments, evidenced by the presence of Lake Sara and Lake Pauline.
