About this map

Jonesboro and Anna serve as the primary hubs in this Illinois landscape, which was updated by the Forest Service in the late 1990s. The geography is defined by the intersection of the Trail of Tears State Forest and the Shawnee National Forest, where steep ridges like Hamburg Hill and Atwood Ridge drop toward the lowlands of the Union County State Conservation Area.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from the Kornthal Ch and Lockard Chapel to family-named sites such as Kimmel Cem and Grieb Cem. The map tracks several small watercourses including Clear Creek and Dutch Creek, which flow toward Bluff Lake near Pottsville. This 1990s revision provides an exceptionally clear view of how the Corp Limits of the regional centers have expanded toward outlying communities like Berryville and Dutch Mills.
