About this map

Waverly serves as the central hub of this Central Illinois landscape, where a dense grid of town streets transitions into the expansive agricultural reaches of Morgan County. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems including Apple Cr and Sugar Cr, which meander through fields connected by a complex system of local thoroughfares such as Hog Market Rd and Nortonville Blacktop.

Genealogical value is particularly high on this sheet, which identifies several burial sites scattered across the countryside, including Saint Sebastians Cem, Allis Cem, and Pulliam Cem. Rural industry remains evident at the Stayton Dairy Farm, while the presence of Waverly Lake provides a significant water feature west of the main settlement. The map documents the enduring infrastructure of this farming community, from the central Po in town to the various family-named roads like Clevenger RD and Caruthers RD that crisscross the prairie.
