2021 Map of Stoy

About this map

Hardinville and the industrial-named Oil Center anchor this Crawford County landscape, reflecting the rural and extractive heritage of southeastern Illinois. The terrain is defined by a dendritic network of small waterways, including Painter Fork, Honey Cr, and Little Cr, which carve through the agricultural grid. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites across the township, such as Hardinville Cem, Jones Cem, and the Prior Grove Cem. Small settlements like Stoy and Villas are connected by a dense system of county highways and named township roads, illustrating the organized land division and settlement patterns of the region. The proximity to Robinson at the northeastern edge suggests the transition from village life to the larger county seat.
