About this map

The Illinois River dominates this landscape, carving a wide alluvial valley that defines the borders of Mason, Fulton, and Schuyler counties. In the village of Bath, a structured grid of streets including E Main St and S Locust St sits adjacent to the East Branch Illinois River, while the Bath Cem marks the eastern edge of the settlement. Across the river to the west, the terrain rises sharply into the bluffs where Bluff City and its associated Bluff City Cem overlook the bottomlands.

Between these elevations lies an intricate network of secondary channels and backwater lakes. Large features like Grand Island and Snicarte Island are surrounded by water bodies such as Stickey Lake, Moscow Lake, and Jack Lake. This environment is shaped by the constant presence of water, with drainage provided by Kerton Cr and Otter Creek, while the southern reaches are defined by the winding Snicarte Slough near the small community of Snicarte.
