The town of Goreville serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern Ozark plateau region in Illinois. The landscape is defined by the significant footprint of the Shawnee National Forest, which covers much of the southern and central terrain. Water features dominate the geography, from the sprawling reach of the Lake of Egypt in the northeast to the smaller Ferne Clyffe Lake nestled in the southwest. The presence of Luxor Landing and various bays like Bethlehem Bay and Shawnee Bay highlights the region's recreational and residential character around these large impoundments.
