1998 Map of Owaneco
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Owaneco serves as a central hub in this late-twentieth-century landscape, defined by a grid of agricultural townships and the diagonal path of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Locust Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which break the geometric precision of the surrounding farmland. This transition from natural drainage to engineered water management is evident in the Main Drainage Ditch to the east. Local history and genealogy researchers can find significant sites like Durbin Cem, Buckeye Cem, and the uniquely named Potters Field Cem. Small rural settlements such as Millersville and Rosamond anchor the corners of the quadrangle, while the Metsker Landing Strip provides a specific look at local aviation infrastructure in this corner of Christian County. The map also traces the Third Principal Meridian, a critical line for land surveying and property records in Illinois.
