2018 Map of Cisne

About this map

Cisne and Rinard serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural landscape of southern Illinois, situated along Rte 45 and Co Hwy 29. The map details a transition across the county line between Clay Co and Wayne Co, where a grid of rural roads like Co Rd 1800n and Bellflower Ln connects scattered family farms and historical sites. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for identifying small burial grounds such as Cisne Family Cem, Stine Cem, and Madden Cem. The local drainage system is defined by the Elm River and its various tributaries, including Raccoon Creek, Bear Cr, and Endsley Cr, which carve through the plains and dictate the placement of timber and agricultural fields in this corner of Bedford Township.
