About this map

The Sangamon River winds through this central Illinois landscape, defining the character of the land between the settlements of Fisher and Dewey. This modern survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and cemetery history of Champaign County, with numerous family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships. Genealogists can locate Beekman Cem, East Bend Cem, Willowbrook Cem, and the uniquely named Knife-Stout Cem, which anchor the rural identity of the region.

A complex drainage system of sloughs and ditches, including Wildcat Slough, Dickerson Slough, and Big Ditch, crisscrosses the terrain, highlighting the extensive water management required for the area's fertile farmland. Within the village of Fisher, the local street grid is clearly defined, featuring roads like W Sangamon St and E Front St. Nearby, Greenwood Lake provides a notable hydrographic feature amidst the vast agricultural tracts of T22N R8E.
