2015 Map of Mattoon East

About this map

The eastern edges of Mattoon and the residential community of Rolling Green anchor this 2015 survey of Coles County. The landscape is characterized by the expansive facilities of the Coles County Memorial Airport and a high density of rural burial grounds, including the adjacent Upper Muddy Cem, Armstrong Cem, and Lower Muddy Cem. These small family and community cemeteries, alongside others like Montgomery Cem and Bethel Cem, offer significant research value for genealogists tracing regional lineages. The topography is defined by the drainage networks of Kickapoo Cr, Muddy Cr, and Darkies Cr, which carve through the till plain toward the smaller settlements of Lerna and Trilla to the south. Lake Windermere provides a notable water feature amidst the agricultural and industrial corridors that bridge the distance between Mattoon and Charleston.
