2021 Map of Albion North

About this map

Albion anchors the southern boundary of this Edwards County landscape, where the street grid transitions into a wide network of rural county roads. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Albion Cem and Graceland Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Illinois. To the north, smaller settlements like Samsville and Bone Gap sit among a drainage system of winding creeks, including Village Cr and Little Indian Cr. The placement of Moose Lake and various cemeteries like Shiloh Cem and Ebenezer Cem suggests a long-established pattern of rural settlement and land use that persists into the modern era. This survey provides a clear view of how local infrastructure, from Co Hwy 5 to the many numbered county roads, connects these dispersed communities across the rolling watershed.
