2015 Map of Fandon

About this map

Birmingham sits near the southern edge of this West Central Illinois landscape, where the La Moine River meanders through the border of McDonough and Schuyler counties. The area is defined by its rural grid and a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Noel Cem and the isolated Miler Grave in the north. The terrain is deeply incised by watercourses like Troublesome Cr and Camp Cr, which historically dictated road placement and necessitated crossings like the Cow Ford Bridge and Lamoine Bridge. In the north, the small settlement of Fandon serves as a local landmark. The presence of Clark Airport near the center of the map highlights the modern intersection of traditional agriculture and light aviation infrastructure, while numerous rural routes like N 450th Rd connect the scattered farmsteads and historic sites.
