About this map

Canton City Lake and the winding course of Copperas Cr define this Central Illinois landscape, where the flat upland agricultural plains give way to the bottomlands of the Illinois River. This survey captures the rural character of Fulton County, dotted with historic burial grounds like Wolf Cem and Orendorff Cem that anchor the local lineage of the surrounding prairie. Smaller settlements and railroad-era junctions such as Rawalts, Breeds, and Monterey are spread across a network of country roads, while the southern edge is marked by industrial and natural water features including the Duck Creek Cooling Pond. The topography transitions sharply near Kings Hill and Baker Hollow, illustrating the drainage patterns of tributaries like Middle Br Copperas Cr and Tiber Cr as they move toward the river valley and King Island.
