2021 Map of Latham

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Latham and Narita is defined by a dense network of country roads and the meandering drainage of the Lake Fork system. This 2021 survey shows the convergence of Logan, Macon, and Sangamon counties, a region where the land's utility is etched into its rectilinear grid. Local history is anchored at the Lake Bank Cem and Two Mile Grove Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks among the expansive fields. The hydrology of the area is distinct, with the S Fork Lake Fork and N Fork Lake Fork converging near Laenna Lake, while Willow Br drains the southern portion of the quadrangle. Significant survey markers like the N Third Principal Meridian Rd provide a structural baseline for the local geography, illustrating how early nineteenth-century land surveys continue to dictate the modern road network and property boundaries of Central Illinois.
