About this map

Salt Fork meanders through this portion of Champaign County, defining the drainage patterns of the local agricultural landscape. The village of Homer serves as the primary hub, where a grid of streets including W Main St and Broadway St meets the open country. To the north, the small settlements of Rumpler and De Long sit along the corridor that parallels the modern interstate, while State Road marks a key intersection near the river's bend.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of Bodkin Cem north of the river and the presence of Wilson Airport. The map also details several smaller tributaries, such as Veazel Br, Olive Br, and Conkey Br, which feed into the larger waterway. Leisure and aviation points like Homer Park and Timberlake Farms Lake are also identified, providing a look at land use in the early 21st century.
