2024 Map of Wakefield

About this map

Wakefield and the nearby crossroads of Passport anchor this rural landscape along the border of Jasper and Richland Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of small waterways, including Hurricane Creek, Sugar Creek, and Jesse Creek, which carve through the agricultural blocks of the Illinois prairie. Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through several small burial sites scattered across the township, such as Liberty Cem and Hankins Cem in the north, and Houser Cem and Trobaugh Cem further south. The map reveals a highly structured grid of county roads that navigate around natural features like Onion Hill and the waters of Berry Lake. This 2024 survey documents the contemporary rural infrastructure, including localized landmarks like E Tank Farm Ln and E Deer Farm Ln, illustrating the continued intersection of modern agricultural life and legacy settlements.
