1984 Map of Perdueville

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Perdueville and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Ford and Champaign Counties are defined here by a systematic network of drainage ditches and rail lines. The Norfolk and Western railway cuts east-west across the center of the sheet, while the Illinois Central Gulf runs north-south through the village of Ludlow. The engineering of the land is evident in features like the Big Four Ditch, Town Ditch, and Special Drainage Ditch, which redirect water toward the Upper Salt Fork. Genealogists will find several burial grounds including Meharry Cem and Ten Mile Grove Cem, alongside infrastructure such as the Foster Landing Strip and the Chanute AFB Recreation Area. The map illustrates the specialized utility of the Central Illinois prairie, where aviation, rail transit, and intensive water management converge.
