Do you know of Maynardsville ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Maynardsville. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Maynardsville.<1>

Our sources for Maynardsville (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Maynardsville other than they indicate that Maynardsville would be found somewhere in Calhoun County, Illinois.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1861 and closed  in 1873.
