2018 Map of Effingham South

About this map

Effingham anchors the northern edge of this Illinois landscape, where the urban grid of streets like W Jefferson Ave and E Fayette Ave meets the rural agricultural expanse of Effingham County. The region is defined by the branching drainage of the Little Wabash River and its numerous tributaries, including Salt Cr and Lily Cr. Smaller settlements such as Watson and Funkhouser serve as local hubs, connected by a network of county roads like Country Club Rd and Pike Ave. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites throughout the townships, from the Saint John Lutheran Cem near the city center to the more isolated Ewington Cem and Porter Cem. The presence of the Effingham County Memorial Airport and Percival Springs Airport highlights the area's role in regional aviation, while bodies of water like Cips Lake and the edges of Lake Sara provide distinct geographic landmarks.
