Little Muddy River meanders through the heart of this Southern Illinois landscape, defining the lowlands between the settlements of Du Quoin and Elkville. The transition between the older town center at Old Du Quoin and the newer developments is visible through the positioning of local landmarks like Hemmer RLA Airport. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial sites throughout the rural acreage, including the Old Du Quoin Cem, Dutch Hill Cem, and Davis Number 1 Cem. The southern reach of the map features the village of Hallidayboro and several smaller water bodies like Snider Lake and Fox Lake. This geography reflects a typical Perry and Jackson County pattern of small, established mining and railroad communities separated by creeks such as Sixmile Cr and Grannys Br.
