2021 Map of Hindsboro

About this map

Hindsboro anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the grid of local streets like Sixth St and Second St meets the open agricultural expanse of Douglas and Coles counties. The region is defined by a complex network of waterways and drainage improvements essential to the local prairie-farming economy, including the winding Embarras River and the engineered Arcola Drainage Ditch Number 4. Smaller hamlets like Filson and Kemp are situated along a primary east-west corridor, reflecting the classic settlement pattern of central Illinois where small rail-side or crossroads communities developed at regular intervals.
