2021 Map of Flora

About this map

The city of Flora anchors this modern survey of Clay County, showing the intersection of local industry and the rural Illinois landscape. The Little Wabash River meanders across the northern reaches, joined by tributaries such as Grove Creek and Buck Creek, creating a complex drainage pattern that has shaped settlement here for generations. The township's history is well-preserved in its numerous small burial grounds, including the Jenkins Cemetery in the north and the Bloom Cemetery to the south. Central to the local economy and transportation is the Flora Municipal Airport, situated just east of the main city center. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from the Saint Stephens Cemetery in the southwest to the uniquely named Number Four Cemetery in the northeast, providing a clear geographic context for family records and local history.
