2015 Map of Norris City

About this map

Norris City serves as the primary hub in this corner of Southern Illinois, where a grid of county roads connects scattered rural settlements and family cemeteries across the White and Gallatin County line. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Indian Cr and Bear Cr, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure like the Omaha City Reservoir and Sandy Run Lake. For those tracing local heritage, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, ranging from the large Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem to smaller plots like the Walter Cem and Shaw Cem. Further south, the community of Omaha sits near the edge of the N Fork Saline River bottomlands, with Palestine Number 1 Cem and Palestine Number 2 Cem marking long-established local congregations.
