2024 Map of Brocton

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites across the township, from the Payne Cem in the north to the Bell Cem near Donica Creek in the south. The presence of Shiloh Number 2 Drain and Drainage Ditch Number 2 highlights the intensive hydrological engineering required to maintain the productivity of these black-soil farm fields. The map also captures the tri-county corner where Edgar, Douglas, and Coles counties converge, a significant marker for local property and historical research.
