About this map

Findlay and the nearby settlement of Todds Point anchor this Central Illinois landscape, which straddles the boundary between Shelby and Moultrie counties. The map reveals a highly structured agricultural grid, where long-standing rural routes like Findlay Rd and Co Hwy 42 connect a series of family-named and community landmarks. For those studying local genealogy, the distribution of historical burial grounds including Prairie Home Cem, Todds Point Cem, Foster Cem, Brunswick Cem, and Union Cem provides a clear view of early settlement patterns and parish locations.

Waterways like Robinson Creek and Wilborn Cr break the geometry of the section lines, shaping the local topography. The map also documents modern infrastructure and aviation history in the region, noting the presence of the Kroenlein Airport and Enoch Airport. The transition from rural roads to the village streets of Findlay, such as Division St and Mauzey St, illustrates the concentration of population at this rail-and-road junction.
