2024 Map of Woodbury

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Cumberland County is defined by a dense network of watercourses and rural burial grounds, centered on the small community of Woodbury. This area is characterized by a complex drainage system including Muddy Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and Island Creek, which carve through the till plains of South-Central Illinois. The settlement pattern is anchored by the historic National Rd, running parallel to Cumberland Rd through the heart of the township. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history sites, as the map meticulously details numerous cemeteries scattered across the county lines, such as Elliott Cem, Farmer Cem, and Mullen Cem. Near the intersection of Effingham and Jasper counties, Montrose marks the southern edge of this survey, while the quiet waters of Woodbury Lake provide a notable landmark just west of the Woodbury settlement.
