2024 Map of Evansville

About this map

Evansville serves as the central hub of this modern survey, situated along the winding banks of the Kaskaskia River in Randolph County. The landscape is characterized by a high concentration of small rural burial grounds, including the Old Saint Boniface Catholic Cem, Saint Boniface Cem, and Saint Peters Cem clustered near the village, while the Kelly Cem, McCormick Cem, and Stipe Cem are found across the surrounding hills. This distribution suggests long-established agricultural family roots, further evidenced by the smaller communities of Roots, Collins, and Ellis Grove. The terrain is defined by drainage systems such as Ninemile Creek, Horse Creek, and Plum Creek, which cut through the land as they flow toward the main river channel. Aviation history is represented by the Dale Curten Farm Airport, reflecting the region's continued integration of private aviation within a traditional farm economy.
