2024 Map of Sainte Marie

About this map

The Embarras River meanders through the central landscape of Jasper County, defining the agricultural and hydrographic character of this Illinois quadrangle. The settlement of Ste. Marie sits prominently along the river's eastern banks, serving as a focal point for local history with its nearby Sainte Marie Cem and Saint Mary's Cem. To the north, the village of Willow Hill is situated near the confluence of Hickory Creek and Crooked Creek, while the small community of Boos lies to the west along N State Rte 130. Notable landmarks include an Indian Mound south of the main river valley and several rural burial grounds such as Shiloh Cem and Eidson Cem. The terrain is further etched by numerous waterways including the Fox River and Pond Grove Creek, which drain the surrounding farmland.
