About this map

The Fox River meanders southward through this section of Richland County, defining the drainage patterns for numerous small tributaries like Coon Cr and Jack Oak Cr. This rural landscape is anchored by the community of Dundas, which features a Post Office and the nearby Dundas Cem, while the settlement of West Liberty sits at the northern edge of the survey. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the expansive East Fork Lake, a significant reservoir that encompasses several smaller bodies of water including Vernor Lake and Olney Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the township, including Bethel Cem, Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem, and the more secluded McBurg Cem and Bird Haven Cem. The road network is heavily gridded, punctuated by smaller locales like Clover Farms and Raeftown. Waterways such as Calfkiller Cr and Camp Br provide natural breaks in the predominantly agricultural fields of this Illinois interior.
