About this map

The Kaskaskia River winds southward through Fayette County, defining a complex landscape of wetlands and sloughs such as Horseshoe Lake and Burtschi Pond. In the mid-1940s, Vandalia served as the central hub of this region, anchored by the Pennsylvania railroad and the Vandalia Airport. The surrounding countryside is densely dotted with rural infrastructure, from numerous one-room schoolhouses like Clover College Sch and Hickory Ridge Sch to small faith-based centers such as Luster Chapel.
