About this map

Perdueville and the surrounding prairie of Ford Co and Champaign Co define this agricultural landscape during the late 2010s. The terrain is notably etched by a complex network of man-made waterways like the Big Four Ditch and Wall Town-Drainage Ditch, reflecting the intensive land-reclamation efforts required to sustain the region's farming economy. These straight-line channels contrast with the more natural meanderings of the Hillsbury Slough to the south.

Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered across the township, including Meharry Cem, Ten Mile Grove Cem, Pontoppidan Cem, and Farmersville Cem. To the east, the edge of Paxton is visible alongside the Paxton Airport, while the village of Ludlow anchors the southeastern corner. The map traces a strictly organized grid of rural routes such as N 1400 E RD and E 500n RD, connecting isolated farmsteads and historic rural crossroads.
