About this map

Shawnee National Forest encompasses a large portion of this landscape, where the border between Johnson and Pope counties meets. The area is defined by a series of small, scattered settlements including Simpson, Robbs, Glendale, and Dixon Springs. These communities are connected by a network of rural routes such as Glen Dale Rd and Cedar Grove Rd, winding through terrain marked by Johnson Ridge and the prominent Millstone Bluff.

Water is a central feature of the local geography, with Lake Glendale and Sugar Creek Lake serving as significant landmarks alongside the meandering courses of Bay Creek and Sugar Creek. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies numerous family and community burial sites, including Harper Cem, Ragsdale Cem, and McClanahan Cem. The map illustrates a contemporary Southern Illinois landscape where managed forest land and agricultural clearings like Flatwoods coexist.
