About this map

The city of Abingdon serves as the primary hub on this recent survey, showing the grid-like expansion of residential streets and local landmarks within the Knox County countryside. Several local cemeteries, including Abingdon Cem, Cherry Grove Cem, and Boydston-Dawdy Cem, are documented here, providing essential data points for local genealogy. The surrounding rural landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Cedar Fork and Latimer Cr, which wind through the agricultural fields and woodlots.

Evidence of the region's transport and utility is found at Wolford's Airport and the smaller settlements of Saluda and Meridians. The map captures the interface between these small Illinois towns and the natural hydrology of the area, including Italian Slough and Indian Cr. The extensive network of county roads, such as Knox Highway 23 and Berwick Rd, highlights the connectivity of this part of Western Illinois.
