2021 Map of Willeys

About this map

Taylorville and its surrounding rural townships reveal a landscape defined by organized agriculture and early settlement patterns along the waterways of Christian County. The terrain is structured by a dense grid of range and township roads, which connect several historic burial grounds including Old Stonington Cem and Ponting Cem. Small rural clusters like Willeys and Hewittville serve as local landmarks within this agrarian expanse. Water features such as Flat Branch and Spring Cr create natural breaks in the rectangular road system, leading south toward the waters of Taylorville Lake. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating family-named cemeteries such as Tanner Cem, Harris Cem, and Long Cem, which are often the last visible indicators of the county's early pioneer communities.
