2021 Map of Tower Hill

About this map

Tower Hill serves as the primary hub of this Shelby County landscape, where the local street grid including Bissell St and Fillmore St meets the rural road network. The terrain is defined by the branching tributaries of Mud Cr and Robinson Cr, which carve through the agricultural fields that dominate the region. This 2021 topographic record reveals a dense concentration of cemeteries and rural religious sites, suggesting a long history of family homesteads and established community roots. Small settlements like Dollville and Henton are situated near several family and community burial grounds, including the Middlesworth Cem and Armstrong Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure supporting these rural townships, from the alignment of Co Hwy 16 to the quiet reach of Knobs Church Rd, making it an essential resource for those documenting the genealogy and development of this Illinois prairie region.
