2012 Map of Ashley

About this map

The Little Muddy River winds through this central Washington County landscape, anchoring a rural region defined by small-town hubs and energy production. The community of Ashley sits at a central crossroads, surrounded by a network of family and fraternal burial grounds including the Logan Cem and the Indepent Order of Odd fellows Cem. To the south, the village of Radom and the DuBois Center highlight the settlement patterns of the area, while the Ashley Oil Field and Du Bois Oil Field point to the subsurface resources that have long supported the local economy. Water features such as the I C R R Reservoir and Ashley Lake reflect the historical importance of the Illinois Central Railroad and local water management in this agricultural prairie environment.
