About this map

The Kaskaskia River winds through the eastern edge of this Illinois landscape, defining the transition between the agricultural uplands and the river valley. The settlement of Red Bud serves as the primary hub in the northwest, featuring a grid of residential streets like E Market St and Madison St. To the south, the village of Ruma sits near the intersection of several regional routes, including The Great River Rd.

Genealogists will find several burial sites documented across the countryside, including Saint John Cem near Ruma and both Brickey Cem and Ralls Cem further north. The terrain is characterized by the open stretches of Horse Prairie and Prairie, drained by numerous waterways such as Richland Creek and Horse Creek. Smaller landmarks like Simpson Pond and Schaffner Lake dot the lowlands, while the community of Grigg occupies a central position along the river's western bank.
