About this map

The Illinois River corridor defines the southern reaches of this landscape, creating a complex wetland environment of sloughs and islands. Landmarks such as Hickory Is, Panther Slough, and Dutchmans Lake illustrate the hydrology of the floodplain before it transitions into the upland bluffs near Browning. Further north, the settlement of Astoria serves as a primary hub, organized along State Route 24 and a grid of residential streets like West State Street and East Broadway.

Family history is well-preserved through numerous rural burial grounds scattered across the townships. From the Woodland Cem near Leesburg to the Old Order Baptist Brethren Cem and Sheldon's Grove Cem, these sites mark the locations of early community centers and church congregations. The map also captures smaller locales such as Sheldons Grove and Bader, which are connected by a network of rural routes including Bader Road and Curless Highway.
