About this map

The Salt River and its complex network of tributaries, including Sugar Creek and Grassy Creek, define the topography of this corner of Pike County in the late 1970s. This survey highlights the intersection of transportation and small-scale settlement, with the Illinois Central Gulf railroad passing through Vera in the south, while the Burlington Northern line serves Reading along the river in the north. The landscape is dotted with family-named burial grounds like McElwee Cem, Arthur Cem, and Euell Cem, providing significant touchpoints for local genealogists.
