About this map

Toledo and Greenup anchor this late-twentieth-century study of the southern Illinois landscape, where the Embarras River carves a winding path through the townships of Sumter and Greenup. The terrain transitions from the high, flat agricultural fields of Cottonwood township to the more complex topography surrounding Sconce Bend and Hurricane Creek. Natural landmarks like Buck Knoll and Graveyard Hill rise above the river valley, while smaller drainages such as Lick Hollow and Tippett Hollow drain the surrounding timber and farmland.

Transportation patterns are dominated by the Old Railroad Grade running north from Toledo, reflecting earlier transit corridors, while the modern Interchange 119 marks the intersection of contemporary commerce. For those researching local genealogy or land use, the map documents numerous rural cemeteries and small settlements including Janesville, Bradbury, and Timothy, alongside active industrial sites like Gravel Pits and a Pumping Station.
