About this map

Pana serves as the primary urban center for this section of Central Illinois, situated at the intersection of a sprawling road network that includes Co Hwy 12 and dozens of numbered country roads. The town's layout is defined by a traditional grid, featuring prominent streets such as W Washington St and Jackson St. Outside the city limits, the landscape transitions into a meticulously surveyed agricultural plane, broken by small waterways like Coal Cr and Becks Cr.

The border between Christian and Shelby Counties runs along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, where the small settlement of Dunkel is located. Genealogists and local historians can find significant burial sites distributed throughout the area, from the larger Linwood Cem near the town center to the more isolated Mautz Cem further north. The presence of the Main Drainage Ditch in the northwest illustrates the engineering required to manage the flat, productive prairie soil of this region.
