About this map

Jeffersonville and the adjacent community of Geff sit at the center of this rural Wayne County landscape, where the agricultural grid is defined by an extensive network of numbered county roads. The area is marked by a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including Victory Cem, Young Cem, Bovee Cem, and Branch Cem, which serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research in this part of southern Illinois.

To the south, the northern reaches of Fairfield appear, featuring Frontier Community College and the Fairfield Municipal Airport. The natural drainage of the region is characterized by numerous winding waterways such as Martin Cr, Deer Cr, and Dry Fork, which meander through the fields. Significant landmarks like In-Dan-Wayne Lake in the northwest corner provide contrast to the otherwise uniform terrain of woodlots and pastures that have defined this region's character for generations.
