2015 Map of Reamsville

About this map

Reamsville and Thornburg anchor this rural landscape in Smith County, where the agricultural grid is defined by a dense network of sectional roads like Co RD 1553 and 60 RD. The terrain is shaped by a complex series of drainage systems, with Iowa Cr and Bull Cr flowing through the western reaches, while the eastern portion is marked by the headwaters of E Br Troublesome Cr and W Br Troublesome Cr. These small watercourses create the subtle draws and rises characteristic of the region's uplands. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies significant landmarks including Pleasant Hill Cem near Reamsville and Eminence Cem further east. The map captures a moment in the mid-2010s where the enduring layout of family farmsteads and rural townships continues to follow the survey lines established over a century prior.
