2024 Map of Tower Hill

About this map

Tower Hill serves as the primary hub in this portion of Shelby County, situated where a network of local roads and sections meet in a landscape defined by agricultural grids and creek drainages. The topography is shaped by the winding course of Mud Creek and Robinson Creek, which cut through the level terrain to create localized relief. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the Tower Hill Cem at the southern edge of town to smaller, family-named or denominational plots like Armstrong Cem, Knobs Baptist Cem, and Middlesworth Cem. Smaller settlements such as Henton and Dollville anchor the northern and western sections, respectively. The map details the transition between open farm fields and the wooded breaks along water bodies like Mitchell Creek and Angel Branch, illustrating the rural character of this Illinois prairie region.
