2012 Map of Spring Garden

About this map

Spring Garden serves as the central hub of this rural Illinois landscape, characterized by a dense network of country roads and family cemeteries that speak to generations of local settlement. The terrain is defined by its watercourses, including Gun Cr and Atchison Cr, which snake through the farmland. Genealogists will find a wealth of data points across the township, from the Warren Cem in the north to the Hope Cem and Wilbanks Cem in the south. The industrial presence of the King Oil Field in the northwest corner highlights the region's mineral interests. Numerous small tributaries like Poplar Br and Taylor Br drain into the larger creek systems, while landmarks like Round Knob Cem provide specific historical anchor points for researchers tracing family ties to the Jefferson County soil.
