2012 Map of Sainte Marie

About this map

Sainte Marie sits at the heart of this Jasper County landscape, positioned along a sweeping bend of the Embarras River. The terrain is defined by a network of waterways that cut through the agricultural grid, including the Fox River to the west and Pond Grove Cr to the south. Small settlements like Willow Hill and Boos serve as anchors for the surrounding rural roads. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial sites, including the Sainte Marie City Cem, Assumption Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Edison Cem. A notable geographic landmark, the Indian Mound, is located south of the main village, suggesting the long-standing significance of this riverine landscape. The map captures the quiet persistence of these Illinois communities as they appeared in the early 21st century.
