About this map

Augusta serves as the primary hub in this portion of Hancock County, Illinois, exhibiting a classic Midwestern grid pattern defined by Prairie St and Winters St. The village is flanked by the historical Old Augusta Cem and Woodland City Cem, grounding the community in its local ancestry. Further south, the smaller settlement of Pulaski is situated near the Pulaski Cem, highlighting a rural landscape where family and community burial grounds frequently anchor the map.

Waterways like Williams Cr, Cedar Cr, and S Fork Cr carve through the agricultural plains, dictating the placement of rural corridors such as Augusta Rd and Nubbin Bridge Rd. The presence of the Robbins Landing Strip adds a modern aviation layer to this traditional farming region, while numerous scattered sites like Hawkins Cem and Walker Cem provide essential markers for genealogists tracing family roots through the Illinois prairie.
