About this map

Yale and Hunt City anchor this Illinois landscape, which is defined by a dense network of country cemeteries and meandering tributaries. The southern reaches of the map are dominated by the waters of Sam Parr Lake and Lake Jasper, creating a distinct geography where the rectilinear grid of local roads, such as 1850th Ave N and 1380th Ave N, gives way to the lowlands of Crooked Creek.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds, including the Old Saint Peters Cem and New Saint Peters Cem near the southern border, and the more isolated Madison Cem to the north. Smaller settlements like Brookville and Willow Hill mark historical points of interest along the drainage of Hickory Creek and Camp Creek, reflecting the traditional agricultural and rural settlement patterns of Jasper County in the early 21st century.
