About this map

The city of Anna serves as the primary hub of this Southern Illinois landscape, where urban streets transition quickly into a network of creeks and rural family holdings. The southern reaches of the Cache River and its tributaries, including Cypress Cr and Big Cr, weave through the terrain, dictating the placement of early settlements and transportation routes. Genealogy and local history are well-represented by numerous burial grounds such as Karakar Cem, Union Cem, and Hinkle Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted community ties of Union County.

Evidence of local infrastructure and private enterprise appears with Keil Airport and the smaller settlement of Balcom. The map captures a detailed view of the region's topography, from the Roaring Spring near the southern border to the numerous small family-named lanes like Casey Ln and Menees Ln. This area maintains a traditional rural character even as modern thoroughfares connect it to the wider state.
