About this map

The village of Redmon stands as the primary hub in this agricultural landscape of western Edgar County. Situated along a grid of historic streets like Springfield St and Maple St, the settlement serves as a anchor for the surrounding prairie. To the east and south, the hamlets of Garland and Mays mark smaller points of interest amidst a vast system of managed waterways.

This 2018 survey reveals a terrain deeply modified by drainage engineering, essential for the region's productive farmland. Features such as the Shiloh Special Drainage Ditch, Shiloh Number 3 Drainage Ditch, and Drainage Ditch Number 7 dominate the central sections, redirecting water into natural courses like Brushy Fork and Catfish Cr. The map details the transition between these man-made channels and the meandering paths of the S Fork Brouilletts Cr and Sugar Cr, illustrating the sophisticated water management that defines modern Illinois agriculture.
