2015 Map of Sainte Marie

About this map

The Embarras River snakes across this Jasper County landscape, anchoring the village of Sainte Marie on its western bank. This modern topographic survey illustrates a rural Illinois environment defined by a dense grid of township roads and family-named landmarks. Near the town, the Sainte Marie City Cem and Assumption Cem provide vital reference points for local history. To the north, the settlement of Willow Hill sits near the confluence of Camp Cr and Crooked Cr, while the small community of Boos lies further west along the Fox River. A notable archaeological feature, the Indian Mound, remains preserved south of the river bend along Pond Grove Cr. The map's detailed labeling of rural routes, such as N 1900th St and E 1000th Ave, provides a precise framework for locating ancestral homesteads and small family burial grounds like Edison Cem and Shiloh Cem.
