2018 Map of Kell

About this map

Dix and Texico serve as central nodes in this rural section of southern Illinois, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks and several small reservoirs. Family history is etched into the terrain through a high density of burial grounds, including the Old Covenanter Cem in the northwest and the Jennings Farm Cem further south. The settlement of Kell sits at the northern edge near the Marion County line, while Idlewood occupies the southern reaches near Lake Normandy. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape of transition where traditional farmsteads and old country churches like Jordan Chapel sit alongside modern developments and recreational waters like Lake Jaycee and Miller Lake. The map provides a detailed view of the local road network, from established county highways to smaller lanes like N Old Centralia Ln.
