2012 Map of Hooppole

About this map

Jefferson Corners and Leon Corners anchor this rural landscape in Henry County, where the grid of sectional roads reflects a long history of agricultural settlement. The map reveals a community structured around small crossroads and family-named routes such as Countryman Rd and Mathis Rd. Evidence of local heritage is found at the Leon Methodist Cem, Saint Marys Cem, and Hooppole Cem, which serve as primary landmarks for genealogists tracing families in this corner of Illinois. The terrain is defined by low-lying drainages like the Keefer Branch, which winds through the western portion of the sheet. Modern infrastructure is represented by the north-south alignment of Illinois Route 78, passing through the heart of the area near the settlement of Aliceville.
