About this map

The agrarian landscape of Menard County is meticulously documented in this late 1990s survey, defined by the winding paths of Grove Creek and Sugar Grove Creek. The village of Greenview serves as the primary hub, while smaller named locales such as Sweet Water and Culver suggest the historical settlement patterns of this central Illinois region. In the south, the terrain becomes more distinct at Indian Point, where a large industrial Quarry operation is prominent.

Local history researchers will find valuable landmarks throughout the quadrangle, including the Sugar Grove Cem situated near the water's edge and the Indian Point Cem further south. The map illustrates a well-defined section line road system that navigates around the natural drainage of Pike Creek and Cabiness Creek, showing the persistence of the traditional Illinois prairie grid amidst the local waterways.
