1998 Map of Ramsey
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Ramsey Lake State Park and its surrounding water bodies dominate the southwestern portion of this Fayette County survey, where the village of Ramsey serves as a local hub. The landscape is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Ash Creek, Ramsey Creek, and Becks Creek, which carve through the terrain between the Oconee and Carson townships. This map captures a rural Illinois landscape where social and community life centered on several small rural congregations and burying grounds. Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named landmarks and local burial sites, such as St Joseph Cem, Clark Cem, and Shed Cem. The map reveals the intersection of civil boundaries at the Shelby Co Fayette Co line, while the presence of Twin Churches in the east highlights the traditional settlement patterns of the late 20th century.
