About this map

The city of Flora anchors this survey of central Illinois, showing the community's grid and industrial expansion alongside the Flora Municipal Airport. This 2012 map reveals a landscape defined by its agricultural roots and resource extraction, notably the West Seminary Oil Field and the Clay City West Oil Field in the southern reaches. The Little Wabash River meanders across the northern half of the sheet, joined by tributaries such as Buck Cr, Grove Cr, and Elm Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense distribution of burial sites throughout the countryside, including family-named landmarks like Jenkins Cem, Rusk Cem, McCawley Cem, and Kneff Cem. Near the eastern boundary, the Mount Zion United Brethren Cem serves as a marker of the area's religious history. The road network, largely following a section-line grid with routes like N Stanford Rd and Moores Mill Rd, illustrates the persistent township-and-range structure of Clay County.
