About this map

Pinckneyville serves as the focal point for this survey of south-central Illinois, where the developed streets of the city transition into a complex landscape of water and woodland. To the north, the Pinckneyville Reservoir and its surrounding residential lanes like Phlox Rd and Wood Duck Rd highlight the area's modern recreational character. Further west, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Little Galum Creek and a dense concentration of named water bodies, including Wesseln Cut, Plum Lake, and Chain Lakes.

Family history and local heritage are preserved in numerous rural sites, such as the Hopewell Church Cemetery and Mueller Hill Cemetery. The map also details smaller outlying settlements like Layfield and Conant, alongside vital infrastructure like Lambert Airport. The southern reaches are particularly marked by an intricate network of small lakes like Yearling Lake and Crystal Lake, suggesting the legacy of former land uses or natural drainage patterns across the Perry County countryside.
