About this map

Findlay occupies the southeastern corner of this Shelby County landscape, situated within a dense network of country roads including Findlay Rd and W Division. The eastern boundary is defined by the irregular shoreline and fingers of Lake Shelbyville, where the small settlement of Todds Point sits near the water. The surrounding prairie is primarily agricultural, yet it contains several small private airfields such as Paul E. Kroenlein Airport, Howell Airport, and Enoch Airport, suggesting a legacy of local aviation serving the farming community.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds distributed across the townships, including Brunswick Cem in the south and Union Cem further north. The drainage of the land is handled by winding waterways like Robinson Cr and Wilborn Cr, which cut through the grid of Shelby County roads. The map captures the quiet character of central Illinois, where rural hamlets like Prairie Home persist amidst a strictly organized section-line road system.
