2018 Map of Buda

About this map

Sheffield and Buda anchor this Bureau County landscape, which reflects a long-established grid of rural roads and agrarian parcels. The area is notable for its numerous small burial grounds and family plots, including Wood Family Cem and the larger Sheffield Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogical research. The terrain is marked by a network of drainage features like Devils Slough Ditch and natural watercourses such as Coal Cr and the E Fork Spoon River, which influence the local topography. To the south, the small settlement of Burnett and landmarks like Gravel Hill sit among the rolling fields. The map preserves the street plans of the primary villages, showing E Railroad St in Sheffield and Grant St in Buda, illustrating the intersection of rail-era town planning with the surrounding township and range survey system.
