About this map

The village of Beaverville and the surrounding prairies of Iroquois County are defined by a sophisticated network of agricultural drainage channels. This 2018 survey illustrates how the landscape has been engineered to support farming through features like N Martinton Ditch Number 2 and the Main Martinton Ditch Number 3. These waterways supplement natural flows such as Beaver Creek and Pike Cr, forming a grid-like pattern that mirrors the rural road system.

Genealogists will find several burial sites located near the small settlements, including Saint Mary's Cem in Beaverville and Saint Joseph Cem to the north. To the west, the village of Papineau sits near its namesake Papineau Cem, while Martinton occupies the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. The presence of Russell Airport in the east highlights the modern utility of this level terrain, even as the townships of t29n r12w and t28n r11w maintain their traditional agrarian character.
