About this map

The fertile plains of Central Illinois are meticulously documented in this modern survey, highlighting the agricultural and social landscape where Macon, Christian, and Shelby counties meet. The settlement of Moweaqua anchors the southern boundary, featuring the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem and Westside Cem. To the north, the town of Macon is detailed with its residential grid, including W Bell St and Eckhardt St, situated near the South Macon Township Cem.

Family and community history is preserved through numerous rural burial grounds such as Traughber Cem, Adams Gorden Cem, and Bilyeu Cem. The landscape is drained by several meandering waterways, including Mosquito Creek and Willow Branch, which cut through the steady township grid. Local aviation is represented by Cribbet Airport, while the village of Blue Mound and the small siding at Walker illustrate the enduring importance of rail-aligned rural centers in the region.
