About this map

Dallas City and Pontoosuc anchor the southern Illinois bank of the Mississippi River in this modern topographical study. The river corridor is defined by numerous islands and sloughs, including Dallas Island, Grape Island, and Peel Island, while the northern Iowa bank features the winding course of the Skunk River as it approaches the confluence. The drainage patterns of the region are deeply detailed, showing how Big Slough, Rogers Ditch, and Old Township Ditch manage the low-lying bottomlands between the rivers.

Local history and genealogy are particularly well-represented through a dense collection of rural burial sites. Numerous family and community landmarks are preserved on the map, from the Miller Family Plot and Beebe Cem to larger sites like the Spring Grove Cem. The interior landscape reveals varied terrain, such as Jollyville Hill and The Ridge, and the small settlement of Wever along the northwestern road network.
