2018 Map of Camp Point

About this map

Camp Point and Golden anchor this Adams County landscape, showcasing a well-established grid of rural routes and significant local history sites. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including S Fork Bear Cr, Missouri Cr, and Walnut Fork, which create complex drainage patterns across the agricultural uplands. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites preserved here, ranging from the Lutheran Friedhof Cem near Golden to the secluded York Neck Cem and Wilkes Cem. The map illustrates the transition from the concentrated street plans of the villages, featuring names like School St and Albers St, to the wide-reaching network of county roads such as Co Rd 2500 N and W Outerbelt Dr. This 2018 survey documents the enduring spatial relationship between these small Illinois towns and the creeks that have defined their topography for generations.
