1998 Map of Sorento North

About this map

Shoal Creek dominates the drainage of this central Illinois landscape, where the West Fork Shoal Creek and Middle Fork Shoal Creek converge. The terrain is defined by the rural townships of Hillsboro, Grisham, and Walshville, exhibiting a pattern of small agricultural centers and scattered family cemeteries. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting numerous burial grounds such as Hart Cem, Baptist Cem, and Clear Springs Cem. Transportation history is visible through the Old RR Gr corridor near Sorento and industrial traces like the Quarry and Gas Well south of Panama. A distinctive landmark, Robbs Mound, rises near the Montgomery and Bond County line, while small water bodies like Panama Lake and Waveland Creek thread through the wooded breaks along the creek forks.
