About this map

Berwick stands as the primary settlement in this section of Warren County, positioned where Berwick Rd intersects with Co Hwy 15. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Cedar Creek and its tributaries, which carve through the agricultural tableland. Smaller hamlets like Ormonde and Phelps are situated along the rectilinear grid of county roads and avenues, reflecting the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in the Illinois prairie.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the preservation of several rural burial grounds, including Silent Home Cem near Slug Run and the Lenox Union Cem located centrally on 125th Ave. These sites, along with the Berwick Cem, serve as primary markers for the families who settled this region. The map also traces the winding paths of South Henderson Creek and Negro Creek, which break the geometric regularity of the surrounding farmland.
