Prairietown and its surrounding townships define this rural Madison County landscape during a period of transition in the mid-20th century. The drainage patterns of Cahokia Creek and its tributaries, such as Sherry Creek and Burroughs Branch, dictate the layout of the land, which is dotted with traditional country landmarks like the Yorkville Sch and Omphghent Sch. Settlement patterns range from established locales like Dorsey to the residential development at Holiday Shores, which appears here as a modern addition to the more established farming community.
