About this map

Long Point anchors the southern portion of this Livingston County landscape, a region defined by a precise grid of agricultural roads and the meandering courses of several local waterways. The settlement patterns of Munster, Garfield, and Leeds reflect the rural development of central Illinois, where small hamlets provided essential hubs for the surrounding farming community. Natural drainage is shaped by Eagle Cr in the north and Moon Cr and Prairie Cr further south, eventually giving way to Long Point Cr near the primary township.

Infrastructure beyond farming is evident in the presence of Frings Airport and Garretson Field, alongside the industrial footprint of the Ancona Gas Storage Field. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies key burial sites such as Ancona Cem and Long Point Cem. The network of numbered county roads, including Co HWY-31, illustrates the connectivity of this prairie landscape as it functioned in the early 21st century.
