2021 Map of Windsor

About this map

The town of Windsor serves as the primary hub in this agricultural landscape where the borders of Shelby and Moultrie counties meet. A grid of rural roads connects the small settlements of Gays and Sexson Corner with numerous local burial grounds that mark the heritage of the region's early settlers, including Ash Grove Cem and Point Lookout Cem. The land is defined by a dense network of small waterways, most notably the W Br Little Wabash River, Sand Cr, and Richland Cr, which carve shallow paths through the prairie. Within the Windsor town limits, a precise street plan includes named thoroughfares like Minnesota Ave and Pennsylvania Ave. The presence of so many family-named landmarks, such as Hilligoss Cem and Moberley Cem, highlights the deep genealogical roots preserved in this central Illinois prairie community.
