2015 Map of Prentice

About this map

Prentice and Yatesville anchor this section of central Illinois, where the landscape transitions from the flat agricultural uplands into the deeply etched drainage basins of Indian Cr and Little Indian Cr. The terrain in the north and west is defined by these winding watercourses, while the southern reaches level out towards the N Fork Mauvaise Terre Cr. This 2015 survey reveals a rural network of county roads, including CO Line Rd, which marks the boundary between Cass and Morgan counties. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting numerous small burial grounds that reflect the area's early settlement patterns. From the Hebron Cem near Sinclair to the Yatesville Cem and Flinn Cem further north, these sites serve as scattered landmarks among the expansive farm fields and woodlots.
