2018 Map of Flora

About this map

Flora serves as the primary hub of this southern Illinois landscape, where the grid of the city meets the meandering course of the Little Wabash River. The topography is defined by the river’s alluvial system and numerous tributaries, including Grove Cr, Buck Cr, and Elm Cr, which drain the surrounding agricultural lands. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Jenkins Cem in the north and Bloom Cem near the southern boundary, offering valuable points of reference for genealogical research in Clay County.
