2018 Map of Toledo

About this map

Toledo and Greenup anchor this agricultural landscape in Cumberland County, situated along the winding course of the Embarras River. The terrain is characterized by a series of hollows and knolls, including Austin Hollow and Buck Knoll, which divert the local drainage of Cottonwood Creek and Hurricane Creek. The map reveals a dense network of rural life, marked by numerous family-named cemeteries such as Neal Cemetery and Hutton Cemetery, which provide significant value for genealogical research in this part of Illinois. The rural settlements of Bradbury and Timothy are linked by a grid of county roads, while landmarks like Ryan Bridge and the Sconce Bend of the river define the natural navigation of the area. This survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy orchards like Harmony Orchard Cemetery and established local crossroads continue to shape the community identity.
