2024 Map of Ripley
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
The La Moine River winds through the borderlands of Schuyler and Brown counties, carving a complex network of valleys that define this section of western Illinois. The village of Ripley serves as the primary settlement, situated near the confluence of local tributaries like Logan Creek and the main river channel. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, as the landscape is dotted with small, family-linked burial sites and community cemeteries. From the Kinman Burial Ground and Linn - Walker Graves in the northern hills to the Ripley Township Cem and Greenwell Cem further south, the map preserves the names and locations of several pioneer-era resting places. The topography is dominated by the dissecting drainage of Missouri Creek, Shelby Creek, and Hamilton Branch, which creates the distinct rise of Dutch Ridge south of the river valley.
