2024 Map of Perry West

About this map

The Brown and Pike county line divides this Illinois landscape, where the meandering course of McKee Creek and the Middle Fork McKee Creek shape the rural topography. The area is defined by a high density of ancestral burial sites, indicating a long-established network of family farmsteads and small communities. While the village of Perry sits at the eastern edge, smaller crossroads like Benville and Morrelville anchor the western reaches. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of small cemeteries, including the Jackson Burial Ground, Stoner Cem, and Hebron Cem, scattered among the rolling draws of Bower Creek and Rattlesnake Dens Creek. The grid of township roads, such as Twp Rd 2950 N and Co Hwy 19, provides a clear view of the agricultural parcels and drainage patterns that have persisted through generations of midwestern farming.
