2012 Map of Burnside
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The La Moine River and its numerous tributaries, including Spring Cr and Wildcat Cr, define the drainage patterns of this eastern Hancock County landscape. Small agricultural settlements like Burnside and Durham are connected by a rigid grid of section-line roads, such as Co RD-2800 and Co RD-2100, which reflect the enduring legacy of the Public Land Survey System in the Illinois prairie. For genealogists, the map identifies local burial sites such as Durham Cem and Vandruff Cem, providing essential points of reference for family history research. The transition from the flat uplands to the winding creek beds of Deer Cr and Grove Cr illustrates the relationship between the productive till plains and the natural waterways that served as the primary landmarks for early settlers in the region.
