About this map

Warren anchors the northeastern corner of this Jo Daviess County landscape, situated where the rolling uplands meet the drainage of Wolf Cr. The topography is defined by the complex branching of the Apple River system, including the W Fork Apple River and S Fork Apple River. This network of waterways has historically shaped the settlement patterns and road networks of the region, such as the path of the E Stagecoach Trl.

Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds across the township, from Saint Joseph Cem in the northwest to Elmwood Cem near Warren. The map also identifies the location of Millville, once a significant pioneer-era settlement near the Millville Cem, and the prominent rise of Benton Mound. The varied terrain transitions into the distinct Welsh Hollow area, reflecting the local names given to the valleys and ridges carved by streams like Lilly Br and Rush Cr.
