About this map

Lake Springfield dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, its complex shoreline defined by recreation and infrastructure including Lincoln Gardens, Lake Park, and the Lindsay Bridge. While the northern boundary touches the expanding edge of Springfield at Southlawn, the interior of the quadrangle remains agricultural, centered on rural townships like Cotton Hill and Ball. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Mottarville Cem, Vigal Cem, and Brunk Cem, are scattered across the terrain, reflecting deep-rooted settlement patterns near Horse Creek and the meandering Sangamon River.
