2012 Map of Paris North

About this map

Twin Lakes serves as the focal point for this section of eastern Illinois, providing a detailed view of the suburban and rural transition north of Paris. The landscape is defined by its agricultural grid, intersected by natural watercourses such as S Fork Brouilletts Cr, Snake Cr, and Sugar Cr. Small crossroads communities and rail-era sidings like Horace, Wetzel, and Harris are distributed across the prairie, reflecting the historical settlement patterns of the region. The map provides significant value for genealogists, as it documents numerous rural burial grounds including Scott Cem, Conkey Cem, and Sixteen Cem. To the south, residential development around Saint Marys Cem and Paris Memorial Gardens shows the expansion of the county seat, while Edgar County Airport marks the modern transportation infrastructure of the 21st century.
