2015 Map of Walpole

About this map

Walpole and the surrounding farmland of Hamilton and Saline Counties are defined by a network of rural crossroads and drainage systems in this 2015 study. The landscape is punctuated by family heritage sites and local landmarks, from the Barton Family Cem and Durham Cem to the prominent rise of Bunker Hill. Small community centers such as Cornerville, Olga, and Tison anchor the grid of country roads, while the waters of Rector Cr and Long Br trace the natural lowlands of the region. The presence of Rhine Church near the southern boundary reflects the long-standing social fabric of this agricultural area. This map provides a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure, showing how local roads like Possum Flat Rd and Tates Chapel Rd connect these historic southern Illinois settlements.
