2018 Map of Literberry

About this map

Literberry and Arcadia anchor this agricultural landscape in northern Morgan County, where the terrain transitions from the upland plains into the dissected drainages of Indian Cr and Snake Cr. The settlement pattern is defined by a dense grid of country roads, many bearing legacy names like Literberry Prentice Rd and Literberry Triopia Rd, which reflect the historical connectivity between small Illinois farming hubs. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in burial sites, documenting locations such as Henderson-McFadden Cem, Oak Ridge Cem, and the Hazel Green Cem near Portuguese Hill. Along the southern margin, the northern edge of Jacksonville appears, including the Jacksonville Municipal Airport. The eastern edge is marked by the sharp relief of Cavanaugh Bluff, overlooking the seasonal waters of Conover Br as they feed toward the Illinois River watershed.
