About this map

Olney serves as the central hub of this Richland County landscape, where the city grid is bordered by the Fox River to the west and Big Creek to the east. The 2012 survey captures the community's established infrastructure, including Olney Central College and several historic burial grounds such as Haven Hill Cemetery and Saint Joseph Cemetery. These sites, along with others like Maple Dale Cemetery, provide significant data for genealogical research in the area.

To the south, the smaller settlements of Calhoun and Elbow are connected by a network of rural routes like County Highway 8. The terrain is defined by its water management and drainage systems, featuring East Fork Lake, Millers Lake, and the engineered Jones Ditch. The distribution of scattered cemeteries, including Richland Cemetery and the remote Mount Zion Cemetery, reflects the long-standing agricultural and family settlement patterns of the region.
