2021 Map of Teutopolis

About this map

Teutopolis anchors the southern portion of this landscape, its grid of streets such as N Plum St and N Green St revealing the organized growth of this Effingham County community. The area is defined by a series of south-flowing waterways, including Salt Cr, First Salt Cr, and Little Salt Cr, which carve through the agricultural plains. To the north and east, smaller settlements like Sigel, Lillyville, and Montrose are connected by a network of county roads and historic thoroughfares like National Rd. Genealogists will find several burial grounds mapped across the countryside, including Saint Francis Cem near the town center, and the more isolated Lillyville Cem, Needham Cem, and Faunce Cem. The map illustrates the persistent rural character of the Illinois prairie, where small hamlets like Roslyn maintain their identity along the tributary waters of Spring Point Cr.
