The W Okaw River and its tributary Jonathan Br carve a winding path through the agricultural landscape of Moultrie County. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of rural settlement anchored by the villages of Bethany and Lovington, connected by a precise grid of township roads. The map is particularly detailed regarding local burial grounds, documenting numerous family and community sites such as Pea Cem, Mitchell Cem, and the Saint Isadora Cem. Along the southern edge, the small community of Dunn sits near the Dunn Br, while the northern portion features the hamlet of Ullrich. The distribution of these cemeteries and small settlements reflects the enduring heritage of Illinois farming communities, showing how early pioneer landmarks have been preserved amidst modern road networks and industrial agriculture.
