2024 Map of Pyatts

About this map

Pinckneyville serves as a primary geographic anchor in this section of Perry County, surrounded by a network of rural settlements and agricultural corridors. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Beaucoup Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Beaucoup Creek and White Walnut Creek. These waterways once dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries that dot the countryside today. The area around Denny and the western edge of Du Quoin reveals a high density of local burial sites like Holts Prairie Cem and Nine-Mile Cem, offering significant value for genealogical research. Transportation follows a mix of established routes like W Main St and specialized local connectors, such as 9 Mile Cemetary Rd, which link the town centers to the outlying prairie lands and the central Elks Reservoir.
