About this map

Middle Fork Shoal Creek and its branching tributaries carve a network of drainage across this central Illinois agricultural landscape. The map captures the divide between Christian and Montgomery counties, where a highly structured grid of section-line roads like N 20th Ave and Co Rd 1500 E facilitates movement between expansive farm tracts. Cultural landmarks are primarily concentrated around historical sites of community gathering, such as Saint Johns Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery. Aviation in the region is represented by the Alan B Janssen Airport, located just north of the county boundary. The southern portion of the sheet is marked by more varied terrain near Fox Hollow, where the elevation begins to drop toward the creek bed, contrasting with the flat prairie topography found along Blue Grass Creek and Bear Creek in the northwest.
