2012 Map of Nortonville

About this map

Murrayville Woodson Lake and the nearby Saint Bartholomew Cem anchor the northern landscape of this Morgan County region. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Little Apple Cr, Lick Cr, and the Left Fork Apple Cr, which weave through a grid of rural roads named for early families. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites like Zion Number One Cem, Ceres Cem, and Sooy Cem, marking the generations of farming families that settled these prairie reaches. The small village of Nortonville sits in the eastern portion of the survey, surrounded by legacy landmarks such as Youngblood Cem and the waters of Mooney Br. This 2012 record preserves the placement of isolated homesteads and family cemeteries that might otherwise be overlooked in modern satellite imagery.
