The Vandalia street grid and its surrounding Fayette County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Kaskaskia River. This survey documents a high concentration of burial grounds, providing significant genealogical value with sites like Old State Cem, Fairlawn Cem, and the Mitchell Family Cem. The river floodplain to the south is marked by numerous natural features including Horseshoe Lake, Inman Slough, and Pecan Island, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Kaskaskia valley. To the east, the settlement of Bluff City sits near the intersection of several county roads and Sandy Run. The map detail captures the intersection of major transportation routes like Veterans Pkwy with the established residential streets of the city, such as W Main St and W Gallatin St.
