2021 Map of Elkville

About this map

Du Quoin and its historic counterpart Old Du Quoin anchor this landscape at the intersection of Perry, Jackson, and Franklin counties. The map details a corridor of southern Illinois settlements including Dowell, Elkville, and Hallidayboro, each once tied to the regional coal and rail economy. Local genealogy is well-supported by numerous burial grounds such as Old Du Quoin Cem, Gill Cem, and the remote Dutch Hill Cem near Dutch Hill. The drainage of the Little Muddy River and its tributaries like Reese Cr and Sixmile Creek define the low-lying terrain, which is punctuated by larger water bodies like Campbell Lake and Fox Lake. Education and modern infrastructure are represented by the John A Logan College - Alongi DuQuoin Extension Center and the Adams Private Airport to the east.
