2024 Map of Anna

About this map

The settlement of Anna serves as the primary hub in this Union County landscape, where the street grid of the town center gives way to a network of rural roads and family-named landmarks. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Cypress Creek and the Cache River, which cut through the undulating terrain of Southern Illinois. Small-scale agriculture and rural life are evident in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the area, including Anna Cem, Kimmel Cem, and Union Cem. Further south, the small community of Balcom sits near the confluence of Little Creek and Big Creek, illustrating the historical importance of these waterways to local settlement patterns. Notable local landmarks like Keil Airport and religious sites such as Mission Chapel and Ebenezer Church reflect the community's long-standing social and transportation infrastructure.
