Ashmore and the surrounding Coles County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Embarras River and its numerous tributaries. This survey reveals a deeply rooted agricultural and institutional history, notably through the presence of the Coles County Poor Farm Cem near the banks of Polecat Creek. The rural settlement pattern is anchored by small communities like Rardin and Embarrass, while the terrain is marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds.
