2024 Map of Hagarstown

About this map

Hagarstown and the surrounding Fayette County landscape are defined by the winding drainages of Hurricane Creek and Raccoon Creek, which carve through the agricultural tablelands west of the Kaskaskia River valley. This 2024 survey captures the rural character of the region, where legacy homesteads are marked by a significant concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including the Wright and Neathery Cem, Mcinturff Cem, and Daniel Cem. The modern infrastructure of Vandalia is visible in the northeast, where the Vandalia Municipal Airport and the intersection of W Veterans Pkwy meet the open countryside. Southward, the terrain transitions toward the bottomlands near Pecan Island, where the Fish Lake Ditch and Suttons Pond indicate a history of water management for the fertile soils of the Illinois prairie.
