2021 Map of Wayne City

About this map

Wayne City stands as the primary hub in this southern Illinois landscape, situated just north of where the Skillet Fork and Fish Slough drainage systems converge. The layout of the town is defined by a grid of streets such as W Robinson Ave and S Main St, flanked by the small settlements of Sims to the northeast and Mayberry and Smithville to the south. This area is characterized by a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including Thomason Cem, Baltimore Cem, Trotter Cem, and Garrison Cem, which provide significant anchor points for genealogical research in this portion of Wayne County. The map details a complex network of county roads that navigate around meandering waterways like Horse Cr and Miller Cr, reflecting the rural agricultural character of the region near the Hamilton County border.
