About this map

Lake Shelbyville dominates the northern landscape of this Shelby County study, its winding shoreline creating deep inlets like Eagle Nest Cove. The terrain is defined by a dense network of burial grounds and small watercourses, including Lithia Springs Cr, Skull Cr, and Lick Cr. These features suggest a long history of rural settlement near the small hubs of Middlesworth and Lithia.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family and community landmarks, such as Rose Cem, Mahoney Cem, and the Sulphur Springs Cem. The southern half of the map transitions into a more traditional agricultural grid, where the headwaters of Richland Cr and Jordan Cr flow through sections dotted with the Wade Cem and Oak Grove Cem, providing a detailed look at the rural heritage of central Illinois.
