2019 Map of Yorkville

About this map

Yorkville and the surrounding Gibson County farm country appear here in the late 2010s, characterized by a dense network of country roads and numerous rural burial grounds. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the N Fork Forked Deer River to the south, where the terrain transitions into the broad wetlands of Buzzard Roost Bottom. The map provides significant genealogical value through its record of scattered family and community cemeteries, including Flowers Cem in the north and Clear Creek Cem further south. Small settlements like Currie and Hopewell serve as focal points for the township, while the edges of Dyer and Rutherford appear along the eastern rail and highway corridor. Tributaries such as Mud Cr and Dry Cr weave through the agricultural plots, illustrating the local water table that has shaped the region's development for generations.
