2018 Map of Lancaster

About this map

Lancaster and Friendsville anchor this southern Illinois landscape where the border between Lawrence and Wabash counties meets. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads, including Co Rd 1950 N and N 2050 Blvd, which link small agricultural hubs and numerous family cemeteries. These burial grounds, such as Corrie Cem, Moffett Cem, and Oreo Cem, suggest a deeply rooted rural genealogy. The terrain is drained by several meandering waterways including Little Bonpas Cr, Storckman Cr, and Crawfish Cr, which feed into local catchments like Mesa Lake and Fish Lake. Further north, the settlements of Helena and Petersburg serve as additional reference points for this well-ordered grid of section lines and townships, including t2n r13w and t1n r12w, illustrating the late-20th-century development of the region's rural infrastructure.
