About this map

The Odell village core and the rural crossroads of Nevada, Sunbury, and Budd anchor this Livingston County landscape. A significant cultural feature is the alignment of Historic Hwy 66, which skirts the western edge of Odell as it parallels the modern interstate corridor. This legendary transportation artery cuts through a landscape defined by an orderly grid of section roads and the natural meandering of the W Fork Mazon River.

Genealogists will find a cluster of burial sites near the southern settlement, including Saint Paul's Catholic Cem, Union Cem, and Odell Cem, while the Nevada Cem serves the northern portion of the quadrangle. Drainage patterns across the prairie are marked by Murray Slough, Johnny Run, and Baker Run, illustrating the agricultural reliance on the local watershed. The map provides a clear record of 21st-century rural Illinois, from established village streets like Tremont St to the sprawling farm plots beyond.
