About this map

Ste. Marie and the village of Willow Hill anchor this rural landscape in Jasper County, where the meandering Embarras River defines the local drainage patterns. The river valley is joined by several tributaries, including Crooked Cr, Camp Cr, and Hickory Cr, which create a complex network of wetlands and creek bottoms across the prairie. The settlement of Boos sits to the west, situated near the headwaters of the Fox River.

Cultural history is marked by several burial grounds serving the local communities, such as Sainte Marie City Cem, Assumption Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Edison Cem. A notable geographic landmark, the Indian Mound, stands as a physical reminder of the area's ancient inhabitants south of the Embarras. Modern infrastructure follows a rigid section-line grid, while the natural topography is influenced by more southern-reaching streams like Richland Cr and Pond Grove Cr.
