2012 Map of Plattville

About this map

The settlement of Plattville and several surrounding rural hamlets define this portion of the Illinois prairie. This landscape is characterized by a grid of farm-to-market roads, such as Caton Farm Rd and Lisbon Rd, connecting small communities that often grew around central intersections or rural churches. Notable burial sites like Cross Lutheran Cem and the Immanuel Lutheran Cem reflect the area’s deep-seated pioneer and immigrant heritage. Several branches of the Middle Aux Sable Cr and W Aux Sable Cr cut through the terrain, providing natural drainage for the agricultural lands that dominate the region. To the northwest, Knob Hill and the settlement of Pavillion stand as landmarks in an area otherwise defined by its gently undulating creek valleys and long-established homesteads like those found at Ament Corners and Helmar.
