About this map

The Embarras River defines the central geography of this Jasper County landscape, winding south through a corridor of wetlands and agricultural tracts. Near the river's bend, the village of Ste. Marie serves as a local hub, home to Saint Mary's Cem and Sainte-Marie Cem. Further north, the settlement of Willow Hill sits at the intersection of W Main St and Co Hwy 16, while the small community of Boos lies to the west along N State Rte 130.

A notable archaeological marker, the Indian Mound, is situated south of E 500th Ave, providing a window into the long-standing human presence in the Illinois interior. The map reveals an intricate drainage network including Fox River, Crooked Cr, and Pond Grove Cr, which flow through the predominantly rural township divisions. Family history and local heritage are preserved in several scattered burial grounds, including Shiloh Cem and Eidson Cem, found along the rural road grid.
