2018 Map of Ashley

About this map

Ashley and its surrounding townships in Washington County sit at the crossroads of a landscape defined by historic cemetery sites and small watercourses. The Little Muddy River winds through the western portion of the region, while the eastern edge is marked by the Washington Co Jefferson Co line. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Indepent Order of Odd-fellows Cem and Saint Michaels Cem near Radom. To the north, the village of Richview overlooks the basin of Ashley Lake, and the southern reach includes the settlement of DuBois Center near the J C R R Reservoir. This survey highlights the distribution of family-named landmarks like Logan Cem and Quinn Cem, providing a detailed view of the rural settlement patterns that have persisted in this part of Illinois.
