1998 Map of Raymond NE

About this map

Bois D' Arc and Harvel townships define the agricultural character of this central Illinois landscape at the close of the twentieth century. The map reveals a strictly organized section-line road network that segments the terrain between the Montgomery and Christian County line. Waterways like Horse Creek and Macoupin Creek meander through the prairie, providing the only breaks in the geometric grid of farmland. A notable transportation feature is the Seitz Landing Strip located in the eastern portion of the quadrangle near Clear Creek. The survey also marks a pipeline corridor crossing the southeastern quadrant. This 1998 imagery-derived update provides a precise look at the rural drainage systems, including the headwaters of the Prairie Fork, and the persistent township boundaries of King and Pitman that have governed local land use for generations.
