2018 Map of Hazel Dell

About this map

Hazel Dell and the smaller settlement of Advance serve as the primary focal points of this Illinois landscape, which spans the junctions of Cumberland, Clark, and Jasper Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of winding waterways including Range Cr, Chivler Cr, and E Crooked Cr, which cut through the agricultural grid. This 2018 survey reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as the Swick Family Cem, Debord Cem, and Paul Cem, reflecting generations of rural settlement. Religious life is anchored by the Church of Christ Cem and Church of God Cem located near the Hazel Dell townsite. The map illustrates the persistence of the Public Land Survey System, with township and range lines like t9n r10e and t8n r11e dictating the placement of county roads that connect these isolated hamlets and farmsteads.
