2018 Map of Tamaroa

About this map

Tamaroa and Du Bois serve as the primary hubs in this southern Illinois landscape, situated where the prairies meet the complex drainage systems of the Little Muddy River watershed. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Collier Cr, Eaton Cr, and Puncheon Cr, which weave through the agricultural sections. A deep-rooted community history is evidenced by numerous local burial grounds such as Tamaroa Cem, Chapel Hill Cem, and Saint Charles Cem. The map reveals the precise intersection of three counties—Washington, Perry, and Jefferson—while highlighting rural landmarks like Rock Bridge and the Scheller Lakes to the east. Transportation is dominated by the corridor of US Rte 51, which connects the small settlements and provides access to the diverse creek bottoms and timbered ridges of the region.
