2018 Map of Paducah NE

About this map

Brookport sits along the southern edge of this Illinois landscape, which transitions from the developed river-adjacent outskirts into the protected woodlands of the Shawnee National Forest. The map reveals a dense network of family and community history preserved through over a dozen small burial grounds, including the Masonic Cem, Buzzard Roost Cem, and the Sycamore Plain Cem. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage system of creeks such as Sevenmile Cr and Barren Cr, which carve through the rural countryside north of the Ohio River. While the southern portion near Brookport Cem shows more structured road development like Unionville Rd, the northern reaches are dominated by timber and significant water bodies such as Mann Lake and Hohman Lake, illustrating the area's mix of managed forest and small agricultural holdings.
