2018 Map of Ewing

About this map

The village of Ewing serves as a primary hub in this northern Franklin County landscape, where agriculture and hydrology define the local character. Situated at the junction of Co Hwy 1 and Co Hwy 12, the settlement is surrounded by a network of rural routes such as Tick Ridge Rd and Rescue Church Rd that connect isolated homesteads and several family cemeteries. To the south and east, the terrain is shaped by the wandering path of the Middle Fork Big Muddy River and its various tributaries, including Sugar Camp Cr and Drummond Br. Numerous small burying grounds, such as Thurmond Cem, Otterson Cem, and Marion Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, indicating long-established family ties to these townships. The elevation rises at Webbs Hill, overlooking a patchwork of sections that reveal the traditional square-grid land division of the Illinois interior.
