About this map

Agricultural lands and rural communities in Fulton and Peoria Counties define this area as it appeared in the early 21st century. The settlement of Trivoli sits along a primary east-west corridor, serving as a focal point for the surrounding farmstead network, while the small hamlet of Cramer lies just to the west. The landscape is deeply carved by watercourses including W Fork Kickapoo Cr and Tiber Cr, which drain into several localized water bodies such as Grahams Lake and Lake Holiday.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Watkins Cem, Concord Cem, and Brunswick Cem. The northern portion of the map reveals the industrial history of the region with features like Slurry Lake Number 1 and Fresh Water Lake, while the presence of the Gordon Brown Airport and the local Post Office in Trivoli indicate the continued role of these small hubs in the modern Illinois prairie.
