2012 Map of Literberry

About this map

Literberry serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Morgan County, where the grid of rural roads connects several small settlements and family landmarks. The map illustrates a high density of historical burial sites, including the Liter Cem, Arcadia Cem, and the uniquely named Rücker Cem, which provide significant anchor points for local genealogical research. To the west, the village of Arcadia sits near Henderson McFadden Cem, while the southern reaches are dominated by the Jacksonville Municipal Airport and the distinctively labeled Portuguese Hill. Waterways like Indian Cr and Snake Cr carve through the prairie, leading toward the prominent Cavanaugh Bluff in the east. This survey captures a rural Illinois community defined by its proximity to transit and its deep-rooted cemeteries, offering a clear view of the area's development before further modernization.
