2018 Map of Yale

About this map

The village of Yale sits at the northern edge of this Jasper County survey, where the grid of rural roads meets the branching drainage of E Crooked Cr and Hunts Br. This agricultural landscape is punctuated by numerous family and community burial grounds, providing a dense record for genealogical research. Prominent sites include Kilgore Cem and Brown Cem near the center of the quadrangle, and Old Saint Peters Cem further south. Toward the southern boundary, the small settlements of Hunt City and Willow Hill mark the transition toward the banks of Crooked Cr. The terrain is defined by low-lying water bodies such as Lake Jasper and Sam Parr Lake, which break the rectilinear pattern of township and range lines. The concentration of historical cemetery labels across this modern survey reflects the enduring imprint of early settlement families on the Jasper County countryside.
