About this map

The southwestern reaches of Jacksonville anchor the northeast corner of this 1983 survey, where major institutions like the Illinois School for the Deaf and the Passavant Mem Hosp overlook the County Fairground and Duncan Park. The transition from city streets to the agricultural interior of Morgan County is marked by a network of local cemeteries, including Calvary Cem and Diamond Grove Cem, alongside the prominent heights of The Mound and Allison Mound.

Further west, the small settlement of Lynnville sits near the headwaters of Walnut Creek, surrounded by rural landmarks such as Liberty Ch and the Richardson Cem. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Mauvaisterre Creek and Sandy Creek, while the Norfolk and Western railroad tracks cut across the northern terrain. This map captures the region before major modern developments, documenting the precise locations of family burial grounds and country churches essential for genealogical research.
