2021 Map of Ohlman

About this map

The settlement of Ohlman serves as the focal point for this 2021 survey, situated at the crossroads of a dense agricultural grid where Montgomery, Christian, and Shelby counties converge. This prairie landscape is defined by its subtle drainage patterns, with the S Fork Sangamon River cutting across the northwest corner and the headwaters of Ramsey Cr and Elliott Cr carving shallow valleys through the surrounding farmland. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries, such as the Rosemond Grove Cem and Zion Cem, which remain as vital markers of the area's pioneer heritage.
