2012 Map of Belle Prairie City

About this map

Belle Prairie City and the surrounding rural landscape of Hamilton County are defined by a grid of agricultural section roads and the natural drainage patterns of the Southern Illinois plains. The settlement of Piopolis sits centrally among these fields, while Delafield occupies the southwestern corner near the intersection of Co Hwy-9 and Co Rd-1650. The area is heavily marked by water management features, including the Kennedy-Voris Main Drain and Auxier Creek Drain, which augment natural waterways like Big Creek and Middle Cr. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Rawls Cem and Crouch Cem, while the Aden Lookout Tower stands near the northern boundary of Garrison. This survey provides a precise look at the 21st-century road network, from major routes like Co Hwy-20 to the numerous numbered county roads that connect these small rural communities.
