2012 Map of Chrisman

About this map

Chrisman serves as the central hub of this eastern Illinois landscape, where the local street grid including W Monroe Ave and E Lincoln Ave meets a regional network of rural section-line roads. The area is defined by its deep agricultural roots and a legacy of small, family-named settlements like Mortimer, Woodyard, and Scotts. A strong genealogical record is preserved across the terrain, with numerous burial sites such as Woodland Cem, Hoult Cem, and Bloomfield Cem positioned near the headwaters of Crabapple Cr and S Fork Brouilletts Cr. Further south, the community of Edgar sits near the tracks, while Cherry Point and its associated Cherry Point Cem highlight the scattered hamlets that historically supported the local farming economy during the early twenty-first century.
