About this map

Apple River Canyon State Park dominates the center of this terrain, where the Apple River and its tributaries have carved deep paths through the Jo Daviess County landscape. The tiny settlement of Millville sits at the northern edge of the canyon, accompanied by the nearby Millville Cem. The map reveals a rural economy shaped by geology and civic duty, with several Quarry sites dotting the hillsides and a local Townhall serving the residents of Rush and Warren townships. Genealogists will find a detailed record of local family history through numerous burial grounds, including St Joseph Cem, Elmwood Cem, and Thompson Cem. The drainage patterns are intricate, featuring named watercourses like Lilly Branch and the South Fork Apple River that converge as they flow toward the high ground of Benton Mound.
