2010 Map of Cantril

About this map

The Fox River meanders across this rural Van Buren County landscape, defining the topography of the southern portion of the quadrangle near the settlement of Cantril. This area is characterized by its numerous small, family-named burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Locations like Egypt Cemetery, Ten Sych Cemetery, and Mantoyne Cemetery are scattered throughout the township-and-range grid, often tucked away from the main thoroughfares. In the north, the small community of Lebanon sits along Co Hwy J40, surrounded by its namesake Lebanon Cemetery. The map detail captures the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the Cantril Post Office to the network of gravel and paved roads like Gray Ave and Heather Ave that connect the isolated farmsteads and creek valleys of Big Indian Creek and its tributary, Tug Fork Big Indian Creek.
