2021 Map of Yale

About this map

Yale and Hunt City anchor the northern and central sections of this Jasper County landscape, characterized by a dense grid of range and township roads that delineate the agricultural heartland of eastern Illinois. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Crooked Cr and its tributaries, including W Crooked Cr and E Crooked Cr, which cut through the level plains and create pockets of wooded relief. This area is particularly significant for genealogical research due to the high density of small rural burial grounds, such as Brockville Cem, Matteson Cem, and the distinct Old Saint Peter Cem and New Saint Peter Cem sites. In the southern portion, Willow Hill sits near the headwaters of Camp Cr, while man-made water bodies like Lake Jasper and Lake Sandpoint indicate local infrastructure and recreational developments within the traditional farming tracts. The map preserves the exact alignment of historical county roads, including Co HWY 14, providing a clear record of local connectivity.
