2024 Map of Eureka

About this map

Eureka serves as the focal point of this Woodford County landscape, centered around the Woodford County Courthouse and the campus of Eureka College. The town is framed by a network of local roads such as W Center St and S Main St, leading out toward the agricultural surroundings of Cruger and Goodfield. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Walnut Creek and Mill Creek, which cut through the township sections alongside several smaller tributaries like Alloway Creek and Mud Creek. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the Olio Township Cem near the college to the more remote Mount Zion Cem of Walnut Grove and Deer Creek Presbyterian Cem. This layout reflects a deeply established community where early 19th-century settlement patterns, such as the placement of the Baker Cem and Woosley Cem, remain visible alongside modern development.
