About this map

The city of Effingham serves as the focal point of this Illinois survey, highlighting its role as the regional hub at the Effingham County Government Center - Circuit Court. The map captures the suburban and rural transition south of the city, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Wabash River and its tributaries like Lily Creek and Blue Point Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous family and community landmarks, including the Ewington Cem, Watson Cem, and Loy Chapel Cem. To the south, the village of Watson appears along the highway corridor, while the hamlet of Funkhouser sits at the western edge. Notable infrastructure includes the Effingham County Memorial Airport and the waters of Cips Lake, illustrating the mix of civil administration, agriculture, and aviation that characterizes this part of Effingham County.
