2012 Map of Lick Creek

About this map

Lick Creek sits at the center of this southern Illinois landscape, where the waters of the Little Grassy Lake and Devils Kitchen Lake touch the northern boundary. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Buck Knob, Jims Hill, and the sheer rise of Drapers Bluff and Cedar Bluff to the south. A dense network of local roads connects small rural settlements like Wayside and The Hall, while the presence of over a dozen burial grounds, including the Old Pleasant Hill Cem, Baker Family Cem, and Progress West Liberty Cem, provides significant data for genealogical research. The map also documents local aviation infrastructure through Houseman Airport and Kellums Airport, set against the winding drainages of Grassy Cr and Wolf Cr.
