About this map

Vandalia and the surrounding Fayette County landscape are defined by a mix of aviation, agricultural infrastructure, and a deep network of rural burial grounds. The northeast corner of this map is anchored by the Vandalia Municipal Airport, while the central and western sections transition into a grid of county roads such as Thrill Hill Rd and Co Rd 1400 N. The settlement of Hagarstown sits near the crossing of these routes, providing a glimpse into the local distribution of small communities in this part of Illinois.

Waterways like Hurricane Cr and Raccoon Cr wind through the terrain, leading toward unique hydrological features such as Fish Lake, Hook Lake, and the managed drainage of Fish Lake Ditch. For genealogical researchers, the map is particularly valuable for its precise location of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including the Wright and Neathery Cem, McInturff Cem, and Eakle Cem, which dot the hillsides between the many named creeks.
