2012 Map of Greenville

About this map

Greenville serves as the focal point of this Bond County study, centered around the historic campus of Greenville College. The settlement pattern follows the meandering path of the E Fork Shoal Cr, which feeds into Greenville Lake and Greenville New City Lake. This 2012 survey provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous burial grounds such as Montrose Cem, Mount Auburn Cem, and Old City Cem within the city limits, while outliers like Jett Number Cem and Mount Gilead Cem populate the surrounding countryside. Outside the primary hub, smaller nodes like Paisley Corners and Ayers are linked by a grid of rural routes including Red Ball Trl and Old Highway 127. The presence of industrial and recreational landmarks, including the Rinco Instrument Corporation Lake and Greenville Rod and Gun Club Lake, illustrates the modern land use of this Illinois prairie landscape.
