2015 Map of Ramsey Lake

About this map

Ramsey Lake and the winding valley of Ramsey Creek anchor this rural landscape where Montgomery, Shelby, and Fayette counties meet. The map reveals a dense network of family and community burial grounds, illustrating the deeply rooted history of the local farming population. From Tennessee Cem in the north to Nave Cem in the south, these sites are scattered across a terrain carved by numerous tributaries, including Hurricane Cr, Caesar Cr, and Liberty Cr. The geography is defined by narrow, wooded drainages such as Fox Hunt Hollow that cut through the agricultural tableland. A precise grid of county roads, such as E 2850 North Rd and 3300 North, provides access to these remote landmarks and connects the dispersed farmsteads of the Illinois interior.
