About this map

The Kaskaskia River winds diagonally across this Randolph County landscape, serving as the central artery for the river towns of Evansville and Ellis Grove. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its waterway and high-ground settlements, showing the transition from the river banks to the surrounding uplands. Local history is well-preserved through several established burial grounds, including Saint Peters Cem, Saint Boniface Cem, and the more secluded McCormick Cem.

Transportation patterns are dominated by rural routes like Schuline Rd and Butter Creek Rd, while the presence of small aviation sites such as Rivervelw Airport and Dale Curten Farm Airport indicates modern land use alongside traditional riverfront settlements like Roots and Collins. The map provides a clear view of the drainage systems feeding the Kaskaskia, from Plum Creek in the north to Ninemile Creek and the Little Ninemile Cr in the south.
