2021 Map of Murdock

About this map

Murdock and the northwestern edge of Newman anchor this Douglas County landscape, which is defined by the geometric precision of the Illinois prairie's section lines. The village of Murdock centers on W Main St, while the small settlement of Fairland sits at the northern edge of the survey area. This modern snapshot of the countryside preserves the locations of several important family and community landmarks, including Jordan Cem, Murdock Cem, and Albin Cem, which are scattered among the agricultural fields. The natural drainage of the region is traced by Jordan Slough and Brushy Fork, alongside man-made improvements like the Newman Number 2 Drain. This map also captures more modern infrastructure, such as the Mayhall Airport, situated south of the primary town centers and surrounded by a dense network of county roads like N Co Rd 1965 E.
