2024 Map of Mulberry Grove

About this map

The agrarian landscape of eastern Bond County is anchored by the rail and road corridor connecting Mulberry Grove and Smithboro. This modern survey reveals a patchwork of family-named road networks and rural landmarks that have persisted through generations, including the Mahle School site and several small burial grounds such as Etcheson Cem and Wright Cem. To the west, the eastern edge of Greenville borders the waters of Governor Bond Lake, while the north is defined by the headwaters of Gilham Creek and Dry Creek. The map documents a territory where historical settlements like Woburn and Durley remain as focal points for local genealogy. Significant watercourses including Beaver Creek and Hurricane Creek drain the undulating terrain, punctuated by community hubs like the Bond Christian Camp and numerous scattered family cemeteries like Dunkard Cem and Halls Grove Cem.
