2012 Map of Kinmundy

About this map

Kinmundy and its surrounding prairie landscapes are defined by the convergence of agricultural transport routes and the winding tributaries of the Kaskaskia River system. This 2012 study details the precise layout of Saint Peter to the northwest and Farina to the northeast, connected by a network of county roads and rail lines. Local history is deeply embedded in the land through a series of burial grounds, including the Old Saint Peter Cem and New Saint Peter Cem, as well as the more isolated Cockell Cem to the south. The drainage patterns of Lone Grove Br, Schneider Springs Br, and the East Fork Kaskaskia River illustrate the natural hydrology that has dictated the placement of homesteads and townships for generations. Notable water features like Kinmundy Lake offer a focal point for the community near the southern edge of the quadrangle.
