2018 Map of Albion South

About this map

Albion anchors the northern edge of this agricultural landscape in southeastern Illinois. Situated on the ridge between the Bonpas Creek and Little Wabash River watersheds, the town is the historic county seat and central hub for the surrounding rural townships. The map details a countryside shaped by meandering watercourses such as Stinking Cr, Onion Cr, and Harper Cr, which cut through the farm plots. Evidence of early settlement and local heritage is preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Birk Prairie Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and West Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for tracing the genealogical history of Edwards and White Counties.
