2012 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

The Embarras River meanders through the heart of this Jasper County landscape, defining the rural geography between the settlements of Rose Hill and Falmouth. The river's winding course is fed by numerous tributaries including Wolf Cr, Lick Cr, and Mint Cr, creating a complex network of wetlands and oxbows. For family historians, the area is rich with small burial grounds such as Redford Cem, Coburn Cem, and Chaple Cem, which dot the agricultural sections alongside more prominent sites like Plainfield Cem near Plainfield. Toward the southern edge, the terrain transitions to recreational space near Sam Parr Lake, featuring the Shadbush Picnic Area and Dogwood Picnic Area. This 2012 snapshot records the enduring grid of county roads, such as Co Hwy-6, that connects these quiet communities and family-named landmarks like Jordan Hill.
