1980 Map of Emden
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
Emden and Hartsburg anchor this Central Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the diagonal path of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad. The map captures the interface of Tazewell and Logan Counties, centered on the townships of Boynton and Orvil. Settled across the level Prairie, the region is defined by its drainage into Prairie Creek, which snakes westward through the territory. Local history is marked by small rural gathering points like Bethel Church and the Patterson Cemetery near the northern boundary. The presence of these family-named landmarks and small-town plats illustrates the late-20th-century character of these farming communities, maintaining their spatial layout as it existed before significant modern consolidation altered the surrounding countryside.
