2015 Map of Walnut Hill

About this map

The Marion Co and Jefferson Co line bisects this landscape, where the Big Muddy River meanders southward through a network of rural settlements. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain defined by family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, such as Little Grove Cem and Gilead Cem. The settlement of Walnut Hill sits at a prominent crossroads near Creeds Hill, while smaller communities like Cravat and Boyd are connected by a grid of numbered roads and lanes. The presence of numerous cemeteries, including Fouts Cem, Piskey Cem, and Locust Grove Cem, provides significant points of interest for genealogists tracing regional family history. In the south, Jefferson City lies near the banks of Rayse Cr, illustrating the continued importance of watercourses and elevation in the local geography of southern Illinois.
