2018 Map of Louisville East

About this map

The Little Wabash River defines the southwestern corner of this Clay County landscape, where the settlement of Louisville sits at the intersection of river and road. To the north, the community of Bible Grove anchors a rural grid characterized by scriptural and nature-themed road names such as Testament Ln, Proverbs Ln, and Spoonbill Rd. This 2018 survey reveals a territory dense with family and community burial grounds, including Kinnamon Cem, Hoosier Prairie Cem, and Shouse Chapel Cem, which offer significant data points for genealogical research. The drainage network is complex, featuring Little Muddy Cr, Panther Cr, and Flat Br cutting through the agricultural sections. The map's layout of county roads and named lanes reflects a modern interpretation of the long-standing Illinois township and range system, preserving the spatial relationship between isolated farmsteads and established crossroads.
