2015 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

The Embarras River meanders through this Jasper County landscape, creating a complex drainage network that includes Wolf Cr, Lick Cr, and Turkey Cr. In this mid-2010s survey, the small community of Rose Hill serves as a central point, situated near the neighboring settlement of Plainfield and the historic location of Falmouth. The map is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds such as Brick Cem, Songer Cem, and Gila Lutheran Cem. A mix of natural and man-made water features, including Glenn Lake and the newer Sam Parr Lake, defines the local geography. The grid of rural roads and section lines provides a clear framework for tracing property boundaries and the proximity of historic sites like Jordan Hill and the Coburn Cem to the winding riverbanks.
