2021 Map of Williamsville

About this map

The agricultural plains of northern Sangamon County are centered here at Williamsville, where modern transportation corridors intersect a landscape still defined by its nineteenth-century burial grounds. Multiple family and community cemeteries, including Stewart Cem, Kern Cem, and Bice Cem, are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as vital landmarks for genealogical research in this part of Illinois. The drainage patterns of Wolf Cr and Fancy Cr provide the primary relief to the terrain, shaping the location of early settlements like Fancy Prairie and Barclay.
