About this map

The West Okaw River meanders through the central corridor of this 1980s landscape, providing a natural break in the organized agricultural grid of Moultrie County. To the north, the village of Lovington serves as a local hub, defined by its street grid including Main St and Park St near the High Sch. Further south, the town of Bethany anchors the southwestern corner, while the small settlement of Dunn sits just north of the West Okaw River State Fish and Wildlife Management Area.

Transport is dominated by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, which cuts diagonally across the southern half of the map. Numerous family and community cemeteries are scattered across the townships of Dora, Marrowbone, Lovington, and Sullivan, including Hewitt Cem and Southers Cem. Isolated landmarks like St Isadore Ch and the Bland Landing Strip highlight the rural character and essential infrastructure of this central Illinois region.
