1982 Map of Warrensburg

About this map

Warrensburg and its surrounding townships define this central Illinois landscape in the early 1980s. The agricultural character of the region is punctuated by the diagonal path of the Illinois Central Gulf railroad, which links the settlements of Heman, Warrensburg, and Bearsdale. Local genealogy and social history are centered on the Illini Ch and its adjacent Illini Ch Cem, located south of the main village. The presence of the Warrensburg-Latham Sch indicates the shared educational infrastructure between neighboring communities. Water drainage follows the natural contours of Lake Fork and South Fork in the north, while Willow Branch meanders through the southern section near the small settlement of Willow. A Sew Disp Pond and a prominent Radio Tower reflect the local utility and communication developments of the era.
