About this map

Eureka serves as a significant institutional and civic hub in this central Illinois landscape, anchored by the historic Eureka College campus and the Woodford County Courthouse. The map illustrates a well-defined residential and collegiate core that transitions into the fertile agricultural lands of the Bloomington Moraine. To the west, the small settlement of Cruger sits along the rail line, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle include portions of Goodfield and Deer Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites documenting the area's early families, including the Olio Township Cem, Baker Cem, and the Deer Creek Presbyterian Cem. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage patterns of Walnut Cr and Mud Cr, which carve through the till plain. This modern survey captures the enduring layout of the county seat alongside the established transport corridors that have shaped Woodford and Tazewell counties.
