The central Illinois prairie town of Maroa anchors this 2018 survey, showcasing the enduring rectangular grid of its residential streets, including W Jackson St and Lincoln St. The landscape beyond the town limits is dominated by large-scale agricultural plots and a network of section-line roads such as Lake Fork Rd and Janvrin Rd. To the north, the terrain becomes more varied as it approaches Salt Creek and the recreational waters of Weldon Springs Lake. Smaller settlements like Ospur reflect the rural history of the area, while markers like Maroa Cem and Rose Cem provide essential locations for genealogical research. This map captures the intersection of the De Witt and Macon County line, where the flat till plain of central Illinois meets the subtle drainage basins of the N Fork Lake Fork.
