2012 Map of Stoy

About this map

Hardinville and the Main Consolidated Oil and Gas Field anchor this portion of southern Crawford County, where the landscape is defined by the intersection of rural agriculture and energy extraction. The grid of country roads connects historic family landmarks such as Prier Cem, Jones Cem, and Richart Cem, providing a detailed look at the local genealogy of the area. In the northern reaches, the community of Oil Center sits near Little Cr, while the southwestern corner is defined by the winding course of the Embarras River. Smaller settlements like Villas and local water bodies including Brooks Lake and West Lake illustrate the distribution of late 20th-century rural life before modern consolidation, preserved here through a comprehensive topographic survey from the early 2010s.
