The Knox Co Peoria Co line bisects this portion of the Illinois prairie, where the Burlington Northern railroad serves as the primary artery for the communities of Elmwood and Brimfield. The landscape reflects a mix of established agricultural settlements and industrial activity, notably the heavy Strip Mine operations and a Gravel Pit along the West Fork Kickapoo Creek. Genealogists will find several burial grounds documented, including St Marys Cem, Southport Cem, and Lehigh Cem, which anchor the smaller hamlets and rural crossroads.
