I don't know what today's township names are, but here is a link to a map of Randolph County for 1875. It shows two townships contain a portion of the area you describe - Union & Evansville. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps/illinois/il1875/RANDOLPH.JPG Hope this is helpful. By the way, if you go up a level in the url, you will find maps to many more counties for 1875... http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps/illinois/il1875 Bill --- The Poupel/Morddel family <famillepoupel@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello, list, > I am trying to find the name of the township that > has the coordinates : township 05S, range 08W, but > on the SOS Illinois site, the charming old map has > no township names.
