About this map

Windsor serves as the primary hub of this East Central Illinois landscape, straddling the county line where Shelby and Moultrie counties meet. The town's grid is clearly defined by several named thoroughfares, including Pennsylvania Ave, Maine Ave, and Illinois Ave. Beyond the residential center, the surrounding agricultural plains are drained by a complex network of waterways, most notably the West Branch Little Wabash River and its various tributaries like Sand Creek and Richland Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the area, suggesting long-established family ties to the land. From the Old Lynn Creek Cemetery in the north to Point Lookout Cemetery in the southwest, these landmarks provide specific points of interest for local history researchers. Rural intersections like Sexson Corner and scattered features such as Ash Grove Cemetery and Templeton Cemetery further illustrate the distribution of early settlement patterns across this productive prairie terrain.
