About this map

Flat Rock and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Crawford County are defined by a dense network of family and community history preserved in the land. The terrain is structured by a grid of rural avenues and streets, connecting several distinct settlements including Duncanville, Morea, and New Hebron. The landscape is notably punctuated by numerous small burial grounds, such as Tohill Cem, Rich Cem, and Good Hope Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Illinois.

Waterways like Lamotte Cr and Brushy Cr meander through the township, influencing the placement of early homesteads and roads. To the northwest, the edge of Robinson shows a more urbanized street pattern with named thoroughfares like W Updike St and E Emmons St. This survey provides a clear look at the rural-to-town transition before modern development further altered these traditional community boundaries.
