2021 Map of Villa Grove

About this map

Villa Grove serves as the primary hub in this portion of Douglas County, where the street grid organizes around Jordan Slough and the Embarras River. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the river, which snakes through the center of the sheet past Patterson Springs and the village of Camargo. For researchers, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites that trace the area's ancestral footprint, including Oak Ridge Cem, Camargo Cem, and the uniquely named Antioch - Hugo Cem near the settlement of Hugo. Away from the river corridors, the terrain transitions to the agricultural expanse of West Ridge, defined by a rigid section-line road network. These routes, such as Co Rd 950 N and E Co Rd 1350 N, connect the small communities to remote landmarks like Broadus Cem and the waters of Hackett Br.
