2021 Map of Wheeler
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
The borderlands of Effingham Co and Jasper Co are defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and the winding paths of several creeks. The village of Wheeler serves as a central hub for the area, situated near the confluence where Big Muddy Cr and Laws Cr drain the surrounding fields. This landscape reflects the enduring rural character of central Illinois, with small settlements like Gila and Lis anchored by local landmarks. Genealogists will find several burial sites recorded here, including Brewer Cem and the Immaculate Conception Cem near Dieterich. To the northwest, the Rocky Ford Sportsman Club South Lake offers a rare deviation from the agricultural pattern, highlighting the intersection of natural drainage and local recreational development in the 21st century.
