2024 Map of Kellerville

About this map

Kellerville sits at a nexus of rural roads where the terrain begins to break into the complex drainage systems of Little Missouri Creek and Purpus Creek. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply rooted in the 19th-century settlement patterns of the Adams and Brown county line. The map is exceptionally dense with small family and community burial grounds, such as the Higley Family Cem and the Sloan Springs A M School Cem, indicating the dispersed nature of the original farmsteads. To the south, the topographic relief increases around Siloam Springs and the waters of Crabapple Lake. The drainage network, including Coal Creek and Grindstone Creek, dictates the winding paths of local routes like Spring Valley Rd, which navigate the various ridges and hollows that define this section of the Illinois interior.
