About this map

The Mackinaw River winds through this central Illinois landscape, carving a valley that separates the rural plateaus of Tazewell County. The settlement of Dillon sits on the northern bluffs, where local history is anchored by the Dillon Cem and nearby Antioch Cem. The terrain south of the river transitions into the grid-patterned farmland surrounding Delavan, a community whose northern edge is visible alongside Saint Marys Catholic Cem.

Smaller watercourses like Dillon Creek, Dry Creek, and Lost Creek feed the larger river system, while Venado Grande Lake offers a distinct hydrographic feature in the eastern section. This modern topographic study reveals how contemporary road networks, such as Co Hwy 7 and Co Hwy 14, follow the early settlement lines established by the area's agricultural heritage, connecting small locales like Holmes to the larger regional hubs.
