About this map

Lake Shelbyville dominates this landscape, its intricate shoreline carving through central Illinois. The village of Kirksville sits at a crossroads to the east of the reservoir, surrounded by agricultural tracts and a series of family-named cemeteries that reflect the area's deep-rooted history. Genealogists will find a concentration of local burial grounds, including Camfield Cem, Thomason Cem, and Welborn Cem, scattered across the rural townships.

Recreational and industrial footprints are evident along the water, from the sprawling Wolf Creek State Park in the south to the Timber Lake Golf Course near the center. Infrastructure projects that adapted to the rising waters of the lake are documented through landmarks like Coal Shaft Bridge and Findlay Bridge. Smaller water bodies such as Elim Lake and Emil Lake lie nestled among the various branches of the W Okaw River and Wolf Cr.
