About this map

The W Okaw River and its numerous tributaries, including Stringtown Br, Jonathan Br, and Dunn Br, carve through this central Illinois agricultural landscape. The village of Bethany serves as the primary population center, featuring a concentrated street grid that includes W N Water St and S Saint John St. Outside the main town, the rural landscape is dotted with family and community burial grounds, such as Saint Isadora Cem, Hewitt Cem, and Pea Cem, providing significant points of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the region.

Agricultural activity is anchored by features like the Okaw Valley Orchard, while the small settlements of Ullrich and Dunn mark historical nodes along the road and rail corridors. South of Bethany, Marrowbone Cr flows through a landscape marked by the Moultrie County Memorial Park Cem, reflecting the area's long-standing community heritage and its reliance on the river drainage systems for land organization.
