2012 Map of Annapolis

About this map

Annapolis anchors the southern portion of this Clark County landscape, a rural Illinois community defined by a strict section-line road grid and several established burial grounds. The geography is etched by the drainage systems of Muddy Cr and Raccoon Cr, which break the geometric precision of the farm plots. Smaller settlements like Orange and Melrose are linked by thoroughfares such as E 500th Rd and N 1000th St, while several cemeteries including Wesley Chapel Cem, Olive Branch Cem, and Medsker Cem provide critical touchpoints for family historians and local genealogists. In the northeastern corner, Craig Lake and N Fork Raccoon Cr introduce localized variation to the terrain. This record of the early twenty-first century documents the enduring agricultural character of the region, showing the persistency of small rural hubs and post offices in the modern era.
