2021 Map of Xenia

About this map

Xenia and the surrounding Xenia Township landscape are defined by a network of creeks and family-named landmarks in the early 21st century. The village serves as a southern hub, while the terrain to the north is carved by the Skillet Fork and its numerous tributaries, including Crabapple Br, Pickle Cr, and Conners Br. For genealogists and local historians, this survey is exceptionally dense with burial sites, documenting family and community grounds such as Oddfellows Cem, Onstott Cem, and the Edwards Family Cem. The boundary between Marion and Clay counties bisects the western half of the map, passing through the small settlement of Greendale. Beyond the township centers, the area consists primarily of rural road networks and natural features like Forbes Lake and Jamison Cr, illustrating the persistent agricultural and riparian character of this southern Illinois region.
