About this map

Wayne City stands as the primary hub in this southern Illinois landscape, situated at the intersection of several local routes such as Co RD 600e and Co RD 600 N. The village is surrounded by a network of waterways, most notably the meandering Skillet Fork, which flows past Fleming Ridge and feeds into the Skillet Fork Lagoon. To the north, the small community of Sims is defined by a grid including N Railroad St and S Railroad St, indicating the historical significance of the rail corridor through the area.

Genealogists will find numerous family landmarks, including Thomason Cem, Baltimore Cem, and Trotter Cem scattered across the rural townships. Further south, the map documents the smaller settlements of Mayberry and Smithville near the border of Wayne and Hamilton Counties. This late-decade survey details a largely agricultural region shaped by the drainage patterns of Fourmile Cr, Miller Cr, and Horse Cr.
