2024 Map of Duncan Mills

About this map

The Spoon River cuts a prominent path across this region of Fulton County, Illinois, where the rural landscape is defined by its winding waterways and scattered settlements. Duncan Mills and Enion serve as focal points for the local road network, while the small community of Beaty sits further west. This survey details a terrain shaped by various branches of Otter Creek, including the North Branch Otter Creek, and the smaller Turkey Branch. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it documents numerous family and community burial grounds across the countryside, such as Freeman Cem, Waterford Cem, Foutch Cem, and Hickory Cem. To the east, the boundary of the Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge marks a significant conservation area where the river valley widens, and infrastructure like Curless Airport highlights the localized aviation history of this agricultural heartland.
