About this map

Donovan anchors the southwestern corner of this survey, situated at the junction of Co Hwy 2 and a grid of rural routes that define this agricultural landscape. The area is marked by a complex system of water management and drainage, where Beaver Creek is supplemented by man-made channels like Beaver Ditch Number 1 and Beaver Ditch Number 2. This network reflects the transition from natural wetlands to productive farmland across the Illinois Indiana border.

Smaller settlements such as Hooper and North Hooper follow the road corridors north of Donovan, while the eastern edge of the map features significant water bodies including J C Murphey Lake and Cory Lake across the state line in Newton County. Local history is preserved at the Beaver Cem and the J H Grant Memorial Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks among the fields and drainage ways like Baird Ditch and Blackston Branch.
