About this map

The Du Quoin State Fairground anchors the northern portion of this landscape, reflecting a long-standing regional tradition of agriculture and entertainment. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of the Little Muddy River and its many tributaries, including Sixmile Cr and Blacksop Cr, which have historically influenced the settlement patterns of towns like Elkville and Dowell. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as the Old Du Quoin Cem, Davis Cem, and Dutch Hill Cem, are scattered throughout the countryside, offering significant genealogical value.

Industrial and aviation history are evident through sites like the Hemmer RLA Airport and Adams Private Airport, as well as the naming of roads like Mine Rd and Gas Plant Rd. These labels point to the area's economic foundations in mining and utility infrastructure. Smaller communities such as Hallidayboro and Dutch Hill remain distinct points on the map, connected by a network of local routes like Old State Route 14 and Millionaires Rd.
