2012 Map of Berryville

About this map

Berryville serves as the central hub for this rural Illinois landscape, where a dense network of country roads connects scattered farmsteads and family burial grounds. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Bonpas Cr, which meanders southward toward its confluence with several tributaries, including Higgins Cr, Little Bonpas Cr, and Jordan Cr. This area is particularly notable for its high concentration of localized cemeteries, which provide a genealogical record of early settlement families. Researchers will find numerous namesake sites such as Smith Cem, Paul Cem, Welser Cem, and Jordan Creek Cem distributed throughout the agricultural tracts. The layout of the township roads, such as E Berryville Ln and N Prairieton Rd, reflects a traditional section-line grid system, punctuated by landmarks like Shiloh Number 1 Cem and the small-scale drainage of Buck Run and Big Br.
