About this map

Johnsonville and the crossroads of Zenith anchor this Illinois landscape along the border of Wayne and Clay counties. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads, including Co RD 1900n and State Rte 161, which serve the agricultural plots and small family burial grounds scattered throughout the township. These include Wesley Chapel Cem, Smyer Old Cem, and Willow Branch Cem, documenting the genealogy of the prairie settlers who established these communities.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with the sizable Sam Dale Lake and Trout Pond providing prominent landmarks. Numerous small tributaries such as Bear Cr, Willow Br, and Johnson Fork cut through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped the early farms. The map preserves the names of small local features like Allen Pond and Gym Br, offering a detailed record of the rural landscape in the twenty-first century.
