About this map

Jerusalem Cemetery stands near the intersection of the modern interstate and Cecil, a settlement that serves as a focal point for this Cook County landscape. The area is defined by the winding course of the Little River and its numerous tributaries, including Wells Mill Creek and Franks Creek. These watercourses are punctuated by small-scale impoundments like Smith Lake and Whitehurst Pond, reflecting the agricultural and drainage patterns of the coastal plain.

Rural clusters such as Pine Valley, Greggs, and Pine Bluff are connected by a network of historic thoroughfares, including the Old Coffee Rd and Old Quitman Hwy. Genealogists may find value in the scattered burial grounds like Gornto Cemetery and the Woodlawn Memorial Gardens near the City of Adel Lake, which provide a record of local families. The presence of Folsom Bridge and various named branches, such as Meetinghouse Branch, indicates a landscape long adapted to the seasonal rhythms of its river basins.
