About this map

Kinmundy and Farina anchor this south-central Illinois landscape, where the prairie transitions across the Fayette Co Marion Co line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages, including the N Fork E Fork Kaskaskia River and Schneider Springs Br, which carve subtle valleys through the agricultural grid. These waterways have long dictated the placement of early settlements and rural infrastructure.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial sites such as the Old Saint Peter Cem and New Saint Peter Cem near St. Peter, along with the Cockrell Cem further south. The map provides a detailed view of the street plans for the primary townships, showing the development of residential blocks around Kinmundy Lake and the various county roads that connect these small farming communities.
