2015 Map of Harco

About this map

Rileyville and Harco anchor this southern Illinois landscape where the borders of Franklin, Saline, and Williamson counties converge. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Middle Fork Saline River and its tributaries, including Prairie Cr and Brushy Cr. This 2015 survey reveals a dense network of rural roads such as Ebenezer Church Rd and Locust Grove Rd, which connect long-standing community centers like New Hope and Hartford. For family historians, the map is a significant record of local burials, documenting numerous sites including the Abney Family Cem, Old Ruff Cem, and Winkleman Cem. The proximity of small settlements like Banklick to the more established Galatia suggests a landscape of small agricultural holdings and rural residences tied to the river valley's natural drainage patterns.
