2018 Map of Red Bud

About this map

Red Bud and the smaller village of Ruma serve as the primary anchors of this southwestern Illinois landscape, where the confluence of the Kaskaskia River and Baldwin Lake defines the eastern boundary. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of Red Bud, with its historic thoroughfares like E Market St and Mill St, to the wide agricultural expanses of Horse Prairie and Prairie. For family historians, several small burial sites are preserved across the rural countryside, including Brickey Cem, Ralls Cem, and Saint John Cem. The terrain is shaped by the wandering paths of Horse Creek and Richland Creek, which flow through the undulating land surrounding Rock Hill. This modern survey documents the contemporary road network, including Elm Shade Rd and Ralls Ridge Rd, alongside legacy water features like Long Lake and Schaffner Lake.
