2021 Map of Ames

About this map

The city of Red Bud serves as the primary municipal hub in this region, sitting at the junction of several county roads where the landscape begins to drain toward the Horse Cr system. To the west, the smaller settlements of Tipton and Ames represent the rural character of Randolph and Monroe counties. This survey identifies several significant genealogical sites, including the Saint John the Baptist Catholic Cem, Saint Peter Cem, Rebenack Cem, and Nelson Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries such as Dry Fork, Prairie Br, and Paint Cr that have carved local valleys through the agricultural plains. Aviation interest is noted at the Duclos RLA Airport, while recreational water features like Lake Emmett and Lake Mildred are scattered across the township lines.
