1965 Map of Sanford

About this map

Bowie Creek and the Okatoma Creek converge within this mid-century landscape, a region defined by its dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural watercourses. The small settlements of Sanford and Lux are situated along the Illinois Central Gulf railroad line, which cuts a sharp diagonal path across the terrain. For genealogists, the map provides an exceptional record of family burials, including Bullock Cem, Byrd Cem, and Lott Cem, many of which are tucked away near the winding banks of McCall Creek and Bullock Cr.
