About this map

The city of Tuscola serves as the focal point of this Douglas County landscape, showing a dense grid of residential streets and the Tuscola Township Cem on its southern edge. This 2021 survey illustrates a region where industrial infrastructure and traditional agriculture coexist, exemplified by the National Petroleum Chemical Company Plant Reservoir near the settlement of Ficklin. Local aviation is represented by the Tuscola Airport, situated just west of the main town center.

Water management and natural drainage define the terrain, with the Kaskaskia River winding through the western portion of the quadrangle while the Scattering Fork and Tuscola Number 4 Drain serve the eastern reaches. For those researching local family history, several small burial sites are scattered across the rural landscape, including Upper Lester Cem, Lower Lester Cem, and Lewis Cem, providing vital geographic markers for the area's ancestral homesteads.
