About this map

Washburn sits along the border of Marshall and Woodford Counties, serving as the primary hub of this central Illinois landscape. The town is marked by its community institutions, including the Saint Johns Lutheran Cem and Saint Elizabeth Catholic Cem, which anchor the southern edge of the settlement. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, most notably Crow Creek and Pigeon Creek, which have carved distinct valleys through the prairie.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural burial grounds scattered across the countryside, such as the Crow Meadow Presbyterian Cem and the uniquely named Fort Dever Cem. The small settlement of Wilbern remains a notable point of reference north of the main town. This modern survey provides a detailed look at the rural road grid, including Tax School Rd and Columbia Rd, showing how the land has been partitioned and preserved into the twenty-first century.
