About this map

LaPlace and Lake City anchor this central Illinois landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain of Macon, Piatt, and Moultrie counties is defined by a highly managed drainage system. This 2015 survey illustrates how the natural hydrology of the W Okaw River and Stringtown Br has been extensively supplemented by engineered channels like Ditch Number 3 and the Hammond Mutual Ditch to support the region's productive farmland.

Small rural clusters such as Lintner and Burrowsville remain connected by an orderly grid of county roads, including Ridge Rd and Ocean Trl. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies several significant landmarks, including LaPlace Cem, Turner Cem, and the Dawson Farms Airport located south of the Piatt and Moultrie county line. The presence of a Po in LaPlace indicates its continued role as a local service hub for the surrounding township.
