About this map

Latham stands as the primary hub of this central Illinois landscape, situated near the intersection of several local routes at the edge of Logan and Macon counties. The map captures a detailed grid of agricultural roads that define the region's rural economy, including 2000th Ave and W Stringtown Rd. Waterways like the N Fork Lake Fork and S Fork Lake Fork meander through the prairie, providing a natural contrast to the rigid geometry of the surrounding section lines.

Genealogists and local historians can locate smaller community points such as Narita to the northwest. Significant local landmarks include Lake Bank Cem and Two Mile Grove Cem, which anchor the history of early families in the area. The presence of Laenna Lake near the town center highlights the localized water features that have historically influenced the development of these prairie settlements.
