About this map

Raymond and Harvel serve as the primary population centers in this agricultural landscape near the Montgomery and Christian County border. The terrain is defined by the drainage of West Fork Shoal Creek and Blue Grass Creek, which cut through the level prairie lands. To the south, the northern reaches of Lou Yaeger Lake create a distinct shoreline environment, complete with a Campground and surrounding woods that contrast with the gridded fields above.

Genealogists will find a significant distribution of family and community burial sites, including St Raymond Cem, Asbury Cem, Cass Cem, and Roberts Cem. The map captures a mix of traditional rural infrastructure and modern development, from the Lebeck Landing Strip in the north to the industrial presence of scattered Oil Wells and a Gaging Sta along the creek. The rail line running through the center of the settlements provides a clear axis for the region's transport and growth history.
