2012 Map of Roodhouse West

About this map

White Hall serves as the primary hub of this west-central Illinois landscape, where the town's street grid meets a countryside punctuated by dozens of ancestral burial sites. This 2012 survey reveals a dense network of family-named and community cemeteries, from the Johnson Burial Ground in the north to the White Hall Cem and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Apple Creek and its many tributaries, including Hurricane Creek and Seminary Creek. Smaller settlements like Patterson and Belltown anchor the rural corners, while the former rail siding at Hanks Station points to the area's agricultural transit history. To the east, the White Hall Reservoir provides a distinct water feature in an otherwise strictly surveyed agricultural grid.
