2012 Map of Avena

About this map

Sefton and Post Oak anchor this rural Fayette County landscape, where the S Fork Kaskaskia River and its tributaries carve a complex drainage pattern through central Illinois. The map reveals a high concentration of burial grounds, including the New Liberty Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and Yolton Cem, which often mark the sites of early communities or family homesteads. Physical landmarks like White Oak Mound and Island Hill rise above the surrounding creek bottoms of Suck Cr and Linn Cr. A mix of modern infrastructure and traditional settlement patterns is evident, with the Miller Landing Strip situated north of Avena and the winding Brickyard Br flowing to the east. This detailed survey provides genealogists and local historians a clear view of the county's township-and-range road grid as it existed in the early 21st century.
