New Holland stands as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Logan County, defined by a grid of rural roads and the winding paths of Sugar Creek and Salt Creek. The map documents a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by the distribution of family and local burial grounds such as Stephens Cem, Richmond Grove Cem, and Pleasant Valley Cem. These sites, alongside the small settlement of Harness to the north, provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Illinois. The terrain is largely shaped by the drainage of Prairie Creek and the presence of Pool Hill, one of the few named topographical elevations in the area. Modern infrastructure, including the Martin Airport and a network of county highways like Co Hwy 15, connects these established farmsteads to the broader region, while the county boundaries with Mason and Menard emphasize its position at a tri-county juncture.
