2018 Map of Camden

About this map

The La Moine River winds through the eastern portion of this Schuyler County landscape, anchoring a rural region defined by its historic small settlements and numerous family-named burial grounds. The village of Brooklyn sits near the river's bend in the northeast, while Huntsville and Camden serve as local hubs for the surrounding agricultural community. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, including individual markers like Joey Eaton Grave and Pettijohn Grave, alongside established grounds such as West Camden Cem and Brooklyn Cem. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Little Cedar Cr and Lewis Cr feeding into larger systems, and Croxton Lake providing a distinct hydrological feature in the southwest. A grid of rural routes, including Nubbin Ridge Rd and Blackburn Bottom Rd, provides the backbone for the scattered farmsteads that have shaped this Illinois interior.
