2015 Map of Bungay

About this map

Blairsville and Bungay anchor this section of Southern Illinois, where a grid of rural routes like Aden RD and CR-10 connects small communities across a landscape defined by its intricate drainage network. The area is heavily marked by the tributaries of the Little Wabash River, including the meandering Big Cr and Haw Cr, which cut through the agricultural fields and woodlots of Hamilton County. Local history and genealogy are centered around the Springer Cem, a key landmark for researchers tracing family ties to this region. The map reveals the rural infrastructure at a moment of modern continuity, showing how established settlements like Aden maintain their footprint amidst the persistent flow of Ferguson Cr and Wolf Cr. The intersection of drainage features like Wolf Cr Drain and Raders Br illustrates the managed nature of the hydrology, essential for the area's agricultural productivity.
