2021 Map of Westfield East

About this map

Westfield sits at the intersection of local history and rural geography where Coles, Clark, and Edgar counties meet. This agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of the N Fork Embarras River and its numerous tributaries, including McNary Br and Doyles Cr. The survey captures the small communities of Cleone and Oilfield, the latter name hinting at the region's industrial past. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Maple Hill Cem near the town center, Conrad Baptist Cem, and the remote Ennis Cem. The infrastructure is characterized by a precise grid of county roads, like Clarksville Rd and Co Hwy 8, crossing natural landmarks like the Twin Bridges over the river.
