2015 Map of Sullivan

About this map

Sullivan serves as the regional hub in this 2015 study, with its grid of streets such as W Harrison St and S Main St transitioning into the rural landscape of Moultrie County. The topography is dominated by the expansive Lake Shelbyville, which follows the ancient path of the Kaskaskia River. This modern survey reveals a dense concentration of local family and institutional history, particularly through its numerous burial sites. Genealogists will find the Illinois Masonic Home Cem and the Masonic Cem near the town center, while outlying markers like Whitfield Cem and Jonathon Creek Cem denote earlier rural settlements. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems including Whitley Creek, Jonathan Creek, and Asa Cr, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds the central reservoir. To the east, the village of Allenville sits near the junction of these waterways and the county line shared with Shelby County.
