About this map

Castleton and Camp Grove anchor this section of the Illinois prairie along the border of Stark and Marshall Counties. The landscape is defined by a series of waterways, primarily Senachwine Cr, Camp Run, and Camp Cr, which carve through the agricultural terrain. This 2015 survey illustrates a highly organized rural infrastructure, where a grid of local routes like North Castleton Road and N Valley Rd connect isolated homesteads and burial grounds.

Genealogists will find interest in the three local cemeteries preserved here: Eagleston Cem, Pleasant Valley Cem, and Grant Cem. These sites serve as quiet landmarks among the expansive fields and drainage systems that characterize this part of the Midwest. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of natural watercourses and the human-imposed geometric road network common to the region's late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century development.
