About this map

The Kaskaskia River snakes through the center of this southern Illinois landscape, defining the boundaries between St. Clair, Clinton, and Washington counties. This riverine environment is characterized by a complex network of wetlands and oxbow formations, including Calamus Lake, Muddy Lake, and Swan Lake. The small settlements of Johannisburg and Venedy anchor the southern portion of the map, connected by rural routes such as Co Hwy 6 and Spook Rd.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant markers of the area's heritage, including the Saint Johns Evangelical Cem and the Miller Cem. To the north, the transition from the river bottomlands to higher ground is marked by New Memphis and New Memphis Station. The mapping of small landmarks like Fischer's RLA Airport and the winding course of Elkhorn Cr provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns that have shaped this agricultural region.
