About this map

Waverly serves as the primary hub of this Central Illinois landscape, where the grid of streets like W State St and Vandalia St meets a wide network of rural county roads. The area is defined by its agricultural character and numerous local burial grounds, including Waverly East Cem, Old West Cem, and Saint Sebastian Cem, which provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research. To the south, the smaller settlement of Rohrer sits along the road network near the border of Morgan and Macoupin Counties.

The terrain is dissected by a complex system of waterways, most notably the meandering paths of Apple Cr, Sugar Cr, and the S Fork Lick Cr. These streams, along with Waverly Lake west of the main town, influence the placement of the local infrastructure. The transition from Morgan County into Sangamon and Macoupin counties is clearly marked, illustrating how these jurisdictional lines align with the section-line roads of the prairie.
