2021 Map of Erwin

About this map

Erwin and the village of Littleton anchor this Schuyler County landscape, where the meandering La Moine River defines the drainage patterns of the western Illinois prairie. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of waterways including Honey Br, Fowler Br, and Brushy Cr, creating a broken topography that has historically shaped the local road network. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, such as Blackburn Cem, Taggart Cem, and Hale Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural uplands. The rural infrastructure is marked by long-standing landmarks like Greenwell Mill Rd and various local thoroughfares such as Bartlow Rd and Rattlesnake Ranch Rd, illustrating the persistence of early property lines and settlement patterns in this quiet corner of the state.
