About this map

Perdueville and the western outskirts of Paxton anchor this rural landscape along the boundary of Ford and Champaign Counties. The terrain is defined by a systematic network of agricultural water management, including the Big Four Ditch, Wall-Town Drainage Ditch, and the winding Hillsbury Slough. This modern survey documents the persistent grid of section-line roads, such as N 1300 E RD and E 500 N RD, which connect scattered homesteads and significant local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds preserved across the prairie, including Meharry Cem, Ten Mile Grove Cem, Pontoppidan Cem, and Farmersville Cem. To the southeast, the village of Ludlow sits near the interstate corridor, while the Paxton Airport serves the region east of the drainage works. This map illustrates the intersection of mid-century aviation, modern transportation, and long-standing Illinois agricultural traditions.
