2012 Map of Prentice

About this map

Prentice and Yatesville serve as central points in this rural Morgan County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of local roads such as Literberry Prentice Rd and Yates School Rd. The terrain is shaped by the winding paths of Indian Cr and the N Fork Mauvaise Terre Cr, which carve through the prairie to create distinctive landmarks like Cavanaugh Bluff. For local historians and genealogists, the map is a significant record of early community sites, preserving the locations of numerous burial grounds including Crow Cem, Hebron Cem, and Antioch Cem. The presence of the Po in Prentice and the legacy of the Yates family reflected in Yatesville Cem highlight the deep-rooted settlement patterns of this central Illinois region during the early 21st century.
