About this map

The northern reaches of Paris, Illinois, are defined by a mix of agricultural heritage and modern utility in this 2021 survey. The landscape is characterized by the meandering Sugar Cr and Twin Lakes, where residential streets like Blue Heron Rd and Blackhawk Dr meet the water's edge. North of the city center, small rural communities such as Horace, Wetzel, and Harris are linked by a grid of county roads that navigate the drainage basins of the S Fork Brouilletts Cr and Snake Cr.

Genealogists will find a significant number of burial sites scattered across the township, including Saint Marys Cem, Franklin Cem, and the more contemporary Paris Memorial Gardens. The northern section of the map is also home to the Edgar County Airport, while landmarks like Wolf Mound stand out against the agricultural backdrop. Historical boundaries are still physically imprinted on the landscape, evidenced by the alignment of Indian Boundry Rd.
