2024 Map of Beardstown

Upland from the river flats, the terrain transitions into the bluffs where smaller settlements like Frederick and Pleasant View are located. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds, such as Bellomy Cem and Boling Cem, which dot the hillsides overlooking the valley. The map also traces intricate drainage features like Bluff Ditch and Coal Creek Ditch, reflecting the long-standing efforts to manage the low-lying bottomlands for agricultural use.
