2012 Map of Farmer City South

About this map

Farmer City anchors the northeastern corner of this DeWitt County landscape, where the southern reaches of the town meet the wetlands surrounding Salt Cr. The map reveals a transition from organized municipal streets to the vast agricultural grid that characterizes Central Illinois. To the west, the infrastructure of the Parnell Oil Field near the settlement of Parnell indicates the local extraction industry, while the sprawling waters of Lake Clinton dominate the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. Several distinct burial grounds are scattered throughout the countryside, including McCord Cem, Barnes Cem, and Greenleaf Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this rural region. The presence of Weidner Landing Field in the east and the small rail-aligned settlement of Fullerton further illustrate the varied transportation and land-use patterns of the early twenty-first century.
