2022 Map of Chewey

About this map

Scraper and the winding course of the Illinois River define this 2022 survey of the terrain where Cherokee and Adair counties meet. The landscape is deeply dissected by a network of drainage systems, including Kirk Springs Hollow, Sawmill Hollow, and Dog Hollow, which create a complex series of ridges and valleys. Small settlements like Pine Bluff are scattered across the uplands, while the bottoms feature landmarks such as Pumpkin Flats. This area is characterized by a significant number of named hollows and bluffs, including the prominent Hogshooter Bluff overlooking the river. For those researching family history or local land use, the map identifies specific burial sites such as Thompson Cem and Chewey Cem. The road network is heavily influenced by the topography, with routes like Chief Keeler Ridge Rd and Dry Water Ridge RD following the natural contours of the high ground between the river and its various branches like Falls Br and Luna Br.
