1998 Map of Ramsey Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Ramsey Creek and its many tributaries, including Elliott Creek and Caesar Creek, dominate this central Illinois landscape in the late 1990s. The map illustrates a deeply rooted rural society across the townships of Audubon, Hurricane, and South Hurricane. This area is notable for its high density of family and community landmarks, particularly country churches like Oak Valley Ch and New Bethel Ch, alongside numerous small burial grounds such as Tennessee Cem and Poland Cem. The presence of the Fairview Community Center suggests a localized social hub in an otherwise agricultural setting. To the southeast, the terrain shifts towards recreational use around Ramsey Lake, featuring a campground and boat ramp, providing a clear look at how the Fayette County landscape balances legacy farmsteads with state-managed conservation and parklands.
