2015 Map of Emden

About this map

Emden serves as a primary hub of settlement in this central Illinois landscape, its grid defined by streets like Corn St and Luebbers St. The terrain is shaped by the drainage patterns of Prairie Creek and Crane Creek, which meander through a highly organized agricultural grid. This 2015 survey reveals the persistence of rural communities like Boynton and Hartsburg amidst an extensive network of farm roads. The presence of Patterson Cemetery near the Tazewell and Logan county line provides a specific point of interest for those researching local family histories. The map details how modern transportation corridors, including major highways and local thoroughfares like Stagecoach Road, intersect with the older patterns of prairie settlement, reflecting the long-term continuity of this farming region.
