2012 Map of Stronghurst

About this map

Stronghurst serves as a central hub in this section of Henderson County, where the street grid is anchored by W Main St and S Broadway St. The surrounding landscape is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Honey Cr, Dugout Cr, and the La Moine River, which carve through the agricultural tablelands of Western Illinois. Small unincorporated settlements and named rural localities like Terre Haute and Decorra reveal the early 21st-century distribution of communities that were once vital railroad or stage stops. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial grounds, such as Peasley Cem, Terre Haute Cem, and Old Bedford Cem, which are preserved alongside local landmarks like Neff Airport. The township road system, including routes like Evans Feedlot Rd and Ted Rockeffer Rd, illustrates the continued importance of livestock and agriculture to the local economy.
