The Sangamon River meanders across this eastern portion of the Illinois state capital, defining the transition between the urbanized grid of Springfield and the agricultural lands of Clear Lake Twp. Significant institutional and military footprints are evident, including the sprawling grounds of Camp Lincoln and the US Naval Training Sta near Lake Springfield. The map serves as a vital record for family researchers, detailing numerous burial sites such as the large Roselawn Memorial Cemetery and the more historical Camp Butler Cem. Transportation networks dominated by the Illinois Central RR and Norfolk and Western RR intersect with suburban developments like Arlington Heights and Grandview. Industrial elements including a Mine Dump and various Claypit extractions indicate the region's extraction history, while the Spaulding Dam regulates the water levels for the city's namesake lake.
