2012 Map of Medill

About this map

Ashton and Medill serve as the primary focal points of this Clark County landscape, where small-scale settlements are defined by their proximity to the winding tributaries of the Fox River. The map reveals a rural geography intricately carved by water, including the Wyaconda River and the Old Channel North Wyaconda River to the south. Local infrastructure is marked by several impoundments such as the Seyb Lake Dam and Murphy Lake Dam, which create small reservoirs like Ashton Lake across the drainage basins of Honey Creek and Linn Creek. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of the Medill Cemetery and Zimmerman Cemetery, alongside the small hamlet of Luray on the western edge. The presence of Drew Bridge over the Little Fox River highlights the localized transportation network connecting these agricultural communities.
