1998 Map of Waltonville
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Rend Lake dominates the eastern edge of this Jefferson County landscape, where the Rend Lake State Waterfowl Management Area marks a significant intersection of conservation and water management. To the west, the village of Waltonville serves as a central hub for the surrounding rural townships of Blissville, McClellan, and Elk Prairie. The terrain is characterized by a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including Gilbert Cem and Dryden Cem, alongside local spiritual centers like St Barbara Ch and Oakland Ch. Industrial and agricultural footprints are evident through several large Tailings Ponds near the lake and scattered Oil Wells. The map captures the quiet persistence of crossroads settlements such as Scheller and Emerson City at the close of the 20th century, before modern development further altered the drainage patterns of Knob Prairie Creek and Hurricane Creek.
