1985 Map of Hord

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Little Wabash River meanders through the heart of the Effingham and Clay county line, creating a complex network of drainage basins including Salt Creek, Bishop Creek, and Coon Creek. This mid-1980s provisional study captures the rural character of southeastern Illinois, where small settlements like Mason and Hord serve as local anchors. The landscape is defined by its transition from the upland prairies of Mason and Union townships to the wooded, winding bottomlands of the river valley. Genealogists will find particular value in the location of Sublett Cem and the small residential clusters at Hill and Fulfer, which provide a clear record of family landholdings and settlement patterns before modern consolidation. The map also documents local infrastructure of the era, such as a prominent Radio Tower and the jurisdictional boundaries of Larkinsburg and Blair townships.
