2018 Map of Ashton

About this map

The village of Ashton serves as the primary hub in this corner of Lee County, its residential grid organized around Main St and Cartwright Ave. The landscape is defined by a dense network of country roads following the township and range survey lines, reflecting the deep agricultural roots of north-central Illinois. Genealogists can locate family burial sites at several small grounds throughout the area, including the Ashton Cem on the outskirts of town, the Reynolds Cem to the east, and the Gehant Farm Cem situated further south. The terrain is marked by gentle drainage basins including Beach Cr and Willow Cr, which eventually feed into the Green River. Notable aviation history is represented by the presence of Miller Airport, while the surrounding land remains largely dedicated to farming, connected by thoroughfares such as Reynolds Rd and McGirr Rd.
