2018 Map of Xenia

About this map

Skillet Fork and its many meandering tributaries, including Grabapple Br and Conners Br, dominate this central Illinois landscape at the border of Marion and Clay Counties. The settlement of Xenia sits near the southeastern corner, serving as a focal point for the surrounding rural area. Genealogists will find a high concentration of small burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as the Edwards Family Cem, Shadden Cem, and Stipp Cem. The presence of the Independent Order of Oddfellows Cem in Xenia reflects the civic and fraternal history of the community. To the northwest, the waters of Forbes Lake provide a significant geographical landmark, while the small community of Greendale and nearby Greendale Lake anchor the southern portion of the survey. The map reveals a highly structured grid of county roads, such as Co Hwy 18 and Co Rd 18, which connect these dispersed rural features.
