2024 Map of Raymond

About this map

Raymond and Harvel serve as the primary anchors of this central Illinois landscape, where the flat agricultural terrain is dissected by the meandering courses of West Fork Shoal Creek and Blue Grass Creek. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Asbury Cem and Saint Raymond Cem south of the main town, as well as the Cass Cem located further into the rural sections. The southern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the northern reaches of Lake Lou Yaeger, while the small settlement of Honey Bend sits near the Montgomery County line. The grid of rural routes, such as Co RD 2500 N and Oilfield Ave, highlights the modern transportation network laid over an older patterns of creek-side settlements and early cemeteries.
