2018 Map of Fandon

About this map

The La Moine River winds through the rural landscape of western Illinois, defining the transition from the fertile uplands down into the wooded bottomlands near the border of McDonough and Schuyler counties. This 2018 survey reveals a deeply established agricultural region centered around the small settlements of Birmingham and Fandon. The river's path is marked by historically significant crossings like Lamoine Bridge and Cow Ford Bridge, while its tributaries, including Troublesome Cr and Camp Creek, further carve the terrain. Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of family and community burial sites, including the White Flock Cem, Archer-Bethel Cem, and the secluded Miller Grave. The network of country roads, such as Co Hwy 26 and Co Line Rd, links these quiet rural corners where small airfields like Clark Airport maintain a connection to the wider world.
