2021 Map of Loogootee

About this map

Saint James and Loogootee anchor this rural landscape in Fayette County, where the topography is defined by the branching drainages of Hickory Cr and Little Hickory Cr. This modern survey reveals a persistent agricultural grid pattern, yet the placement of numerous family and community burial grounds suggests deep-rooted local history. Genealogists can locate Harris Cem near Loogootee, or Stein Cem, Lovett Cem, and Besing Cem scattered among the farmsteads to the north. The eastern boundary is marked by the Fayette Co Effingham Co line, crossing through the lowlands of Dismal Cr. Small waterways like Lone Grove Br and Walnut Cr carve subtle valleys into the prairie, influencing the winding paths of rural routes like Lone Grove Rd as they deviate from the rigid section lines.
