2018 Map of Alexis

About this map

Alexis sits at the intersection of the Mercer Co Warren Co line, serving as the central hub for this agricultural landscape. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the westward-flowing Henderson Creek and its various tributaries like Middle Henderson Cr and N Henderson Cr. The map reveals a structured grid of rural roads, such as 1st Ave and 270th Ave, which carve the prairie into distinct sections between the rolling drainage basins of Toms Cr and Goose Run. This spatial arrangement underscores the region's long-standing reliance on its hydrography and the systematic township and range surveying that organized Illinois farmland. The settlement itself is finely detailed, showing a street plan including N Main St and S Holloway St, illustrating how local infrastructure centers around this cross-county community.
