About this map

Lawrenceville serves as the focal point of this Lawrence County landscape, situated along the meandering course of the Embarras River. The town's grid is well-defined by streets such as Washington Ave and Jefferson ST, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with small outlying settlements like Billett, Grays Corner, and the riverside location at Piper's Landing. The terrain is shaped by an extensive network of drainage features, including Indian Cr, Big Slough, and Beaver Pond Ditch, reflecting the area's agricultural character and hydrological management.

For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are scattered across the townships, including Lawrenceville Cem, May Chapel Cem, and the more remote Hollister Cem. The map provides a detailed look at the rural road system, from W Haven Rd to Billett Ln, connecting these historic sites. Industrial and geographical markers like Garvey Pond and England Ditch further illustrate the land use patterns in southeastern Illinois during the late twenty-first century.
