2015 Map of Raymond NE

About this map

Montgomery and Christian counties meet in this agricultural landscape defined by a dense grid of rural roads and the meandering paths of several key waterways. The northern reaches of the W Fork Shoal Cr and the Prairie Fork provide natural drainage for the surrounding fields, while Macoupin Cr and Horse Cr cut through the western portion of the quadrangle. The region is predominantly defined by its section-line road network, including notable thoroughfares like Black Diamond Trl and Mine Ave. Local aviation is represented by the presence of the Murphy Farms Airport, situated near the center of the survey area. This 2015 study captures the modern layout of these Illinois prairie lands, documenting the relationship between established family farm tracts and the natural creek systems that have shaped the local topography for generations.
