LOGAN COUNTY PLACE NAMES

Before there were townships the county was divided into 13 precincts. In 1862 the precincts were: Atlanta, Bowles, Broadwell, Elkhart, Eminence, Lake Fork, Lincoln, Madison, Middletown, Mt. Pulaski, Prairie Creek, Salt Creek, Sugar Creek. I do not know exactly where each of these precincts were. If you had an a male ancestor between the ages of 18 and 45 in 1862 and you know where he lived you can get an idea of the precincts from the 1862 Military Census.

Today we have 17 townships from west to east, north to south: Prairie Creek, Orvil, Eminence, Atlanta, Sheridan, West Lincoln, East Lincoln, Oran, Corwin, Broadwell, Chester, Aetna, Hurlbut, Elkhart, Mt. Pulaski, Laenna, Lake Fork. Mt. Pulaski is the largest township and Lake Fork is the smallest. Township Map
