About this map

Prairie City and Bushnell anchor the western edge of this agricultural corridor along the border of McDonough and Fulton counties. The landscape is defined by the transition from flat prairie farmland to the more dissected drainage basins of the Drowning Fork and the South Fork Shaw Creek. Small rural clusters and burial sites like Checkrow and the nearby Checkrow Cemetery highlight the enduring local geography of the region.

Genealogists will find a high density of small cemeteries including Barnes Cemetery, Peirsol Cemetery, and Guernsey Cemetery scattered across the township lines. Unusual topographic features such as Dyers Mound and the artificial Lake Wildwood Haven provide specific points of interest in an area otherwise dominated by the regular grid of county roads like N 2100th Road and McDonough County Line Road.
