2015 Map of Filley

About this map

El Dorado Springs and the surrounding Cedar County landscape are defined by a network of rural settlements and family-named landmarks established along the regional tributaries. Small communities such as Filley, Willowville, and Hackleman Corner are connected by a grid of county roads, including Airport Rd and Jacks Corner Rd. The terrain is shaped by the winding courses of Alder Creek, Cherry Branch, and Horse Creek, which feed into the larger Cedar Creek. Numerous local burying grounds, such as Pleasant Ridge Cemetery, French Cemetery, and Eslinger Cemetery, provide significant genealogical landmarks for tracing the area's early residents. The northeastern corner of the map features notable elevations including Smith Bluff and the low-lying Bland Hollow near Cedar Springs. This landscape reflects a long-standing agricultural and residential structure where the placement of cemeteries and small crossroads settlements remained central to the community's geography.
