2018 Map of Noble

About this map

Noble and the surrounding Richland County countryside are defined by a network of rural settlements and family cemeteries that anchor the local history of this region. The landscape is drained by the Fox River and its various tributaries, including Hog Run Cr and Sugar Cr, which meander through agricultural sections. While Olney and Pureton serve as regional hubs, smaller localities like Schnell and Gallagher reflect the dispersed nature of settlement in southern Illinois. Genealogical interest is particularly high here, as numerous burial grounds such as Green Hill Cem and Olive Branch Cem are preserved among the fields. The Olney- Noble Airport stands as a modern landmark north of the main village, while water features like McCarthy Lake and Turkey Cr provide distinct natural boundaries between the grid of county roads.
