2018 Map of Emden

About this map

Emden and Hartsburg serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural landscape of central Illinois, situated near the boundary where Tazewell Co meets Logan Co. The area is defined by its rectilinear grid of rural routes, including Logan Rd and Boynton Rd, which weave around the local drainage systems of Prairie Cr and Crane Cr. The presence of Patterson Cem west of the village centers provides a tangible link for genealogists researching early families in this part of the Prairie State. The map details the small-town layout of Emden across streets like Main St and Olive St, while the northern portion focuses on the community of Boynton. This topographical survey illustrates the modern transportation network, characterized by the intersection of local township roads and high-capacity interstate travel through the heart of the region.
