2024 Map of Blyton

About this map

The Spoon River carves a deep path through Fulton County, anchoring a landscape defined by its riparian geometry and small rural crossings. Settlement clusters at Babylon and Blyton are joined by the historical crossing point at Whites Ferry, reflecting an era when river transit dictated the local geography. The upland areas are marked by several family and community burial grounds, including the Henderson Cem and Sinnett Chapel Cem near Put Creek, providing essential locations for genealogical research. Numerous small tributaries and local impoundments like Sweeneys Pond and Clyde Darst Pond pocket the terrain. The road network, often following section lines, features descriptive local names such as E Bear Paw Rd and N Rattlesnake Rd, which hint at the traditional character of the surrounding countryside.
