2018 Map of Enterprise

About this map

The settlement of Enterprise sits at the southern edge of Clay County, Illinois, marking a landscape defined by its agricultural grid and winding waterways. This portion of the Illinois prairie is deeply etched by the Little Wabash River and its tributaries, including Elm River and Sycamore Creek, which break the geometric precision of the county roads. The map serves as a detailed record for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds such as Laird Cemetery, Evangelical Cemetery, and Zif Cemetery. The terrain is further shaped by drainage efforts, including the Elm River Drainage Ditch, reflecting the local history of managing the low-lying bottomlands for cultivation. Notable landmarks like Robinson Lake and various rural crossings provide specific points of interest within the townships of T1N and T2N.
