2018 Map of Nokomis SW

About this map

The borderlands of Christian and Montgomery counties in central Illinois are defined by an agricultural grid interwoven with several significant drainage systems. Middle Fork Shoal Creek and the southern reaches of Lake Glenn Shoals dominate the lower half of the quadrangle, where the terrain breaks from flat farm acreage into the more varied topography surrounding Fox Hollow. This 2018 survey reveals the persistent rural infrastructure of the region, from the Alan B Janssen Airport in the north to the historic Saint John's Cemetery located near the banks of the creek. The map details a landscape transition where established township roads like Witt Ave and Oilfield Ave meet winding natural features such as Blue Grass Creek and Bear Creek, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology and land divisions in the early twenty-first century.
