2012 Map of Kansas

About this map

Kansas serves as the primary population center of this Illinois landscape, situated at the intersection of a prominent rail line and highway system. The town's grid is flanked by the headwaters of several drainage systems, including Polecat Cr and W Donica Cr. To the north, the small settlement of Warrington marks a crossing near Shields Cem, one of many family and community burial grounds that pepper the rural townships. The land is defined by a dense network of county roads, such as Co RD-1600n and Co RD-2800, which provide access to isolated farmsteads and agricultural plots. This map documents a quiet, enduring rural infrastructure, from the Gough Landing Strip in the east to the southern reaches of the N Fork Embarras River, capturing the spatial arrangement of Edgar County's farmland and its scattered historical landmarks.
