About this map

Pawnee and its surrounding agricultural landscape are documented in this detailed 2012 study of southern Sangamon County. The settlement patterns of central Illinois are evident here, with the established village of Pawnee serving as a central hub for smaller communities like Zenobia, White Oak, and Ellis. The geography is defined by the winding course of Horse Cr and its tributaries, including Henkle Br and W Br Horse Cr. To the east, the waters of Sangchris Lake extend into the quadrangle, highlighting the area's water management and recreational geography.

Local landmarks and infrastructure are meticulously recorded, including the Donald A. Hamilton Airport and Fry RLA Airport, reflecting the region's aviation history. For those researching family history, the map precisely locates Horse Creek Cem and Calvary Cem, providing essential points of reference for local genealogy. The transition from traditional rural townships to newer developments is visible in the presence of Commanche Village and the evolving road network including Black Diamond RD.
