About this map

Du Bois and Tamaroa anchor this Illinois landscape, which is defined by a dense network of country roads and intersecting waterways. The Little Muddy River winds through the central and eastern sections, joined by tributaries such as Puncheon Cr, Eaton Cr, and Collier Cr. The land use here reflects a long-standing balance between agriculture and resource extraction, notably marked by the Tamaroa Oil Field situated north of the larger settlement.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds, including Saint Charles Cem near Du Bois and Chapel Hill Cem to the west. Farther south, Tamaroa Cem and Curlee Cem sit among a landscape of farms and small creeks like White Walnut Cr. The inclusion of Rock Bridge and Scheller Lakes suggests the local importance of specific topographic landmarks and recreation in this part of Perry County.
