2012 Map of Noble

About this map

The Village of Noble Cem and the settlement of Noble sit at the center of this Richland County landscape, where the prairie meets the winding course of the Fox River. This area is defined by its deep agricultural and energy roots, evidenced by the Schnell East Oil Field near the southwestern hamlet of Schnell. A network of rural cemeteries, including North Freedom Cem and Olive Branch Cem, provides essential touchpoints for genealogists tracing local families across the townships. The terrain is drained by several named waterways like Sugar Creek and Hog Run Creek, which break up the grid of county roads. Further north, the Olney-Noble Airport and small settlements like Pureton and Gallagher punctuate the patchwork of fields and woodlots, illustrating the persistent character of Illinois' rural heartland.
