About this map

Cisco and De Land anchor this central Illinois landscape where the grid of rural section roads meets a network of vital waterways. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the winding course of the Sangamon River, accompanied by Arrowhead Lake and Four-H Lake. The drainage patterns across these agricultural plains are further illustrated by the presence of Friends Cr Ditch, Goose Cr, and Wildcat Cr, which cut through the level terrain between farmsteads.

For those researching local heritage, the Kentuck Cem stands as a significant landmark in the central portion of the survey area. Small communities like Amenia and Weldon punctuate the landscape, reflecting the established settlement patterns of De Witt and Piatt Counties. The map provides a look at the intersection of local infrastructure and natural hydrology, from the residential streets of Cisco like Water St and Maple St to the rural expanses of Sunnyland Rd.
