About this map

Paris serves as the focal point of this Illinois survey, illustrating its established grid and residential growth south of the town center. The landscape transitions from urban streets like E Wood St and E Jasper St into a rural expanse defined by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds. These small cemeteries, including Lycan Cem, Cassady Cem, and Swango Cem, are scattered across the township lines of t14n r12w and t13n r12w, marking the ancestral heritage of the surrounding farmland.

Waterways such as Sugar Cr and Clear Cr carve through the terrain, punctuated by local landmarks like Eads Lake and Lawrence See Lake. The small settlement of Nevins appears in the southeast, while the village of Redmon sits to the west. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents numerous smaller plots like Elledge Holley Cem and Walls Cem that might otherwise be overlooked in broader regional studies.
