2018 Map of Ramsey

About this map

The village of Ramsey serves as the primary hub in this portion of northern Fayette County, where the street grid transitions into a vast network of section roads. The landscape is defined by the drainage of several waterways, including Ramsey Cr and Becks Cr, which carve through the terrain near the small settlements of Dressor and Hanson. This area on the border of Shelby County shows a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Clark Cem, Shedd Cem, and Cothern Family Cem, which are essential markers for genealogical research in this rural Illinois corridor. Higher elevations are noted at Bridges Knob and Bowling Green Hill, providing a topographic contrast to the creek bottoms. The map detail highlights the local road system, including Co HWY 27 and various county routes that have connected these agricultural communities for generations.
