2018 Map of Berryville

About this map

West Salem sits at the southwestern edge of a landscape defined by the winding course of Bonpas Cr, which serves as a natural boundary for several Illinois counties. This part of the state, where Edwards, Richland, Lawrence, and Wabash counties converge, is a patchwork of rural farmsteads and family burial grounds that tell the story of generations of settlement. Small clusters of residents are found near Berryville, while the surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by the drainage basins of Little Bonpas Cr, Higgins Cr, and Jordan Cr. Genealogy researchers will find an unusually high concentration of named cemeteries on this sheet, including Shiloh Number 1 Cem, Walnut Grove Cem, and Welser Cem. These sites, often located near local thoroughfares like Co Hwy 3 or N 2400 Blvd, offer a precise look at the localized distribution of historical homesteads.
