2018 Map of Plymouth

About this map

Plymouth sits at a geographic crossroads where Hancock, McDonough, and Schuyler counties converge, serving as a primary settlement in this Western Illinois landscape. The La Moine River and its varied tributaries, including Bronson Creek and Flour Cr, carve through the terrain, creating a network of drainage that historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites that offer significant value for genealogical research, such as Irwin Cem to the northwest, Trimble Cem near the center, and both Davenport Cem and Round Prairie Cem in the southeast.
