About this map

Saint Paul and the small settlement of Lester anchor this landscape along the border of Fayette and Marion counties. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the North Fork East Fork Kaskaskia River and the East Fork Kaskaskia River, which carve through the agricultural fields and woodlots of the region. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including the Saint Paul Lutheran Cem and the Doolen Cem, reflecting the area's long-standing community roots.

The map reveals a network of county roads connecting isolated landmarks like Lowe Mound and the Griffin Airport west of Lester. Natural features such as Plum Branch, Flat Creek, and Sandy Branch provide drainage for the surrounding farmlands, while the Patoka Club Lake offers a distinct water feature in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Illinois highlights the modern agricultural management and land use that continues to shape this Illinois river valley.
