About this map

Apple River and its numerous tributaries, including Kentucky Cr and Clear Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern through this section of Jo Daviess County. The small settlement of Millville sits at a focal point near the river's bend, where local history is preserved at the Millville Cem. The surrounding landscape is defined by its agricultural character and rolling elevations, notably the prominent height of Benton Mound in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Genealogists can trace several burial grounds scattered across the townships, such as Saint Joseph Cem in the northwest and Elmwood Cem in the northeast. The map details a dense network of rural roads, many bearing family names like N Slaughter House Rd, N Kupersmith Rd, and N Bausman Rd, which delineate the historic property lines and access points to the various creek valleys, including Mud Run and Lilly Br.
