About this map

Waltonville sits at the heart of this Southern Illinois landscape, where small rural communities are connected by a network of named county roads and local thoroughfares like E Dubois Rd and E Scheller Rd. The eastern edge is dominated by the sprawling waters of Rend Lake, while smaller reservoirs such as East Lake Impoundment and the Raw Water Reservoir suggest the importance of local water management for the surrounding agricultural areas.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Baptist Cem, Clampet Cem, and Saint Barbara Cem near Scheller. The terrain is generally low-lying, drained by numerous named waterways like Knob Prairie Cr and Hurricane Cr. Small unincorporated settlements like Williamsburg and Emerson City remain clearly marked, reflecting the persistent rural settlement patterns of Jefferson County in the early 21st century.
