2015 Map of Edelstein

About this map

Princeville and Edelstein anchor this central Illinois landscape where Peoria, Stark, and Marshall Counties meet. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of Kickapoo Cr and Hickory Run, which carve distinct drainages through the agricultural uplands. This 2015 survey reveals a high density of rural cemeteries that mark the heritage of early family farmsteads and immigrant congregations, including Streitmatter Cem, Woertz Cem, and the Apostolic Christian Cem. Smaller settlements like Speer, Lawn Ridge, and West Hallock represent the dispersed community centers that supported the region's farming economy. The map traces a grid of country roads such as W Streitmatter Rd and W Lake Shore Dr, illustrating how modern infrastructure follows the historic township and range lines established over a century prior.
