2012 Map of Shumway

About this map

Shumway sits at the heart of this Effingham County landscape, where the agricultural grid is etched with several named family farms including Wendte Farms, Wachtel Farms, and Laue Farms. The settlement of Holland appears in the northwest, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the reaching fingers of Lake Sara. This reservoir is fed by a complex drainage network that includes Blue Point Cr, Morris Cr, and Lily Cr. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding local burial sites, documenting Trinity Lutheran Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Blue Point Baptist Cem, alongside several others. The terrain is further marked by numerous watercourses like Wolf Cr and Shoal Cr, which break the geometric regularity of the rural roads.
