Locations of Everything

in Coles County

Ever wonder where exactly a school was or what township a creek was in? GNIS can tell you.

Head over to GNIS (http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html) and put in Coles County for your query - listed below is what comes up. Pretty cool, huh??? Once at their website, you can print a map of any of these places.

**I suspect that items marked "Historical" no longer exist.**
