2015 Map of New Haven SW

About this map

Saint Patrick Catholic Cem and several family burial grounds dot this southern Illinois landscape, highlighting the deep-rooted agricultural settlement patterns of Gallatin County. The village of Ridgway occupies the western edge, while the small community of Inman sits further east, connected by a network of rural roads such as Ridgway New Haven Rd. The terrain is defined by a sophisticated system of agricultural drainage, with Pond Settlement Ditch, Crackle Ditch, and Cypress Ditch carving through the low-lying plains to manage the watershed of Crawford Cr. Toward the southeast, the elevation rises into the Shawneetown Hills, providing a distinct contrast to the surrounding farmland and drainage basins. This 2015 survey provides genealogists and local researchers a clear view of the cemeteries and legacy road names that have defined the township for generations.
