About this map

Coghill Cemetery and Pleasant Green Cemetery are among the numerous burial grounds scattered across this agricultural landscape in Henderson County. The map documents a predominantly rural section of western Illinois, centered on the small settlements of Rozetta and Reeds. The drainage patterns of Fall Creek and Smith Creek dictate the terrain, leading toward the Henderson Creek bottomlands.

Genealogists will find significant value in the concentration of family and community landmarks, including Stockton Cem, Rozetta Cem, and the Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery. The presence of the Carner Landing Strip near Carner Lake suggests the continued importance of private aviation in the local farming economy. Further south, the landscape transitions into more varied water features such as Youngs Lake and Young- Gibson Lake before reaching the banks of Old Tom Creek.
