2018 Map of Waynesville East

About this map

Waynesville occupies the northwestern corner of this DeWitt County landscape, serving as the primary hub for a region defined by agricultural grids and wandering creek beds. The drainage of Rock Cr and Deer Cr cuts through the northern sections, while Tenmile Cr flows across the southern portion near the Gibson Lakes. This environment is a classic example of Illinois prairie development, where a rectilinear road network, including the prominent Waynesville Rd and Thorps Rd, facilitates access to isolated farmsteads and rural landmarks. Several burial grounds, including Evergreen Cem and Rock Creek Cem, provide important genealogical markers for long-standing local families. The presence of the Hooterville Airport north of Tenmile Cr highlights the integration of modern small-scale aviation into this traditional farming community.
