1984 Map of Westfield West

Smaller settlements and crossroads like Westfield and the outskirts of Charleton anchor the road network, while numerous Cem (cemeteries) are scattered across the section lines, providing essential points of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The drainage patterns of Hurricane Creek and Mill Cr reveal the agricultural logic of the late 20th century, showing how farmstead placement and field boundaries were dictated by the meandering watercourses of Coles and Clark counties.
