2018 Map of Greenbush

About this map

Greenbush and Youngstown anchor this rural Illinois landscape where Warren and McDonough counties meet. The area is defined by a dense network of creek systems, including Swan Creek and the curiously named Drowning Fork, which carve through the agricultural grid. This 2018 survey reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds like Pierce Cem, Bond Cem, and McMahill Cem, providing critical touchpoints for genealogists tracing early settlement patterns. Modern recreational features like Little Swan Lake and the nearby Golf Course Rd sit alongside traditional landmarks such as Larkins Cem near the N Fork E Fork La Moine River. The map highlights the transition from the orderly township lines of t9n r2w and t8n r1w to the winding paths of Little Negro Cr and Big Negro Cr.
