About this map

Lovington and Bethany anchor this agricultural landscape in central Illinois, illustrating the persistent settlement patterns of Moultrie County. The land is defined by the drainage of the West Okaw River and its various tributaries, including Stringtown Br and Jonathan Br. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Saint Isadora Cem and Pea Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research.

Transport corridors like Old Springfield and Rte 1 facilitate movement between small rail-aligned communities like Cushman and Dunn. The grid of county roads, including Co Rd 400 E and Co Rd 2300, reflects the systematic land divisions of the prairie. The transition from the rural outskirts of Ullrich to the more structured streets of the larger villages highlights the enduring role of these centers as hubs for the surrounding farming community.
