About this map

Eberle serves as the central node of this agricultural landscape in southeastern Illinois, where the grid of rural roads is punctuated by an exceptional concentration of family and parish burial grounds. The cultural history of the township is legible through these sites, ranging from the Saint Matthew Lutheran Cem and Mount Zion Cem to smaller plots like Poe Cem and Scott Cem. These locations, often situated near farmsteads like the Zimdars Farm and Holste Brothers Farm, reflect the deep-rooted genealogical ties of the local community.

The physical geography is defined by a network of small watercourses, including Little Bishop Cr, Ramsey Cr, and Lucas Cr, which meander through the rectilinear fields. An interesting industrial detail is preserved along Oil Field Lease Rd, signifying the intersection of traditional farming with resource extraction. This combination of agrarian persistence and local industry characterizes the region's mid-century character.
