2021 Map of Alexis

About this map

Alexis serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape, straddling the border between Mercer Co and Warren Co. The settlement's street grid, including W Hunt Ave and Spring Grove Ave, is surrounded by a dense network of sectional roads and drainages that define the local topography. This 2021 survey illustrates a sophisticated hydraulic system where several branches of the Henderson watershed converge. Significant watercourses like Middle Henderson Cr, N Henderson Cr, and Henderson Creek meander through the prairie, joined by smaller tributaries such as Toms Cr and Goose Run. The map provides a contemporary look at the rural section lines and township layouts that have organized this Illinois farmland for generations.
