Centralia and the adjacent community of Wamac anchor the northeastern corner of this Southern Illinois landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is subdivided by a precise grid of rural routes like Sycamore Rd and Peach Tree Rd. The village of Irvington serves as a central hub for the surrounding countryside, situated near Grand Point Creek and the Irvington Cemetery. This survey highlights the complex boundary intersections of Marion, Washington, and Jefferson counties, illustrating how political lines bisect small settlements and farmsteads. Further south, the town of Richview sits along the rail corridor, while smaller named locales such as Noltings and Alda mark historically significant points in the rural landscape. Researchers will find a high density of named country roads and cemeteries, including Harres Cem and Grand Point Cem, which provide essential reference points for documenting local family heritage and early land divisions.
