2021 Map of Enterprise

About this map

The tiny settlement of Enterprise is positioned near the junction of Co HWY 1 and Co RD 1850 N, serving as a central point in this southern Illinois landscape. The geography is defined by the winding course of the Little Wabash River in the northeast and the Elm River in the west, which flows toward the Elm River Drainage Ditch. This drainage network reflects the agricultural development of the region, where numerous family and community burial sites are scattered across the townships. Genealogists will find a high concentration of cemeteries, including Evangelical Cem, Zif Cem, Wells Cem, and Williams Cem, many located at rural crossroads. The map also delineates the administrative borders between Clay, Wayne, and Richland counties, illustrating how these local boundaries intersect with the natural path of the river systems.
