2012 Map of Sullivan

About this map

The town of Sullivan serves as the central hub in this survey of Moultrie County, where a grid of rural roads meets the intricate shoreline of Lake Shelbyville. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling waters of the lake and the Kaskaskia River, which weave through the central and southern portions of the map. This area is particularly rich in family and community history, evidenced by a high density of small cemeteries such as Daugherty Cem, Purvis Cem, and French Cem located near the water's edge. To the east, the settlement of Allenville sits along a railway line, while the Masonic Home and its accompanying Masonic Cem represent significant local landmarks. The presence of Jean Wood Airport near the small community of Bruce highlights the modern infrastructure supporting this primarily agricultural and recreational region.
