2018 Map of Addieville

About this map

The Kaskaskia River winds across the northern border of this Illinois landscape, defining the boundary between Clinton and Washington counties. This river corridor is marked by a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes, including Big Forked Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Turkey Lake. To the south, the terrain transitions into a grid of agricultural land and small rural communities. Addieville serves as a local hub, situated near the headwaters of Plum Creek, while smaller settlements like Frogtown, Lively, and New Minden are scattered throughout the quadrangle. Several historic burial grounds, such as Olive Branch Lutheran Cem and Saint Lukes Cem, provide anchor points for genealogical research. The infrastructure is characterized by a mix of established roads with avian-themed names like Cardinal Rd and Bluebird Rd, alongside the long-standing Covington Bridge crossing the river.
