About this map

Tamaroa and Du Bois anchor this section of southern Illinois, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters and tributaries of the Little Muddy River. This 2015 survey shows a rural geography still deeply marked by family and community heritage, visible in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, including Tamaroa Cem, Antioch Cem, and Saint Charles Cem. The drainage patterns of Collier Cr, Eaton Cr, and Puncheon Cr create a complex network of creeks that once influenced early travel and settlement locations.

Agricultural and local transit routes follow a grid that respects both the county lines and the winding paths of waterways like White Walnut Cr and Bald Hill Cr. A notable transition point occurs at Rock Bridge near the Perry and Jefferson County boundary. Researchers will find a high degree of detail in the street names of Tamaroa, such as S Walnut St and E Tamaroa Rd, providing a clear view of the town's modern layout while preserving the names of the original rural landscape.
