About this map

Farmington anchors the western edge of this central Illinois landscape, where the agricultural plains are deeply dissected by the winding drainage of West Fork Kickapoo Creek and the Middle Branch Copperas Creek. The map documents a transition in land use during the early 1980s, revealing the industrial legacy of the region through marked Mine Tailings alongside traditional farmsteads and small crossroads like Cramer.

To the east, the settlement of Trivoli sits atop the high ground above Tiber Creek, while the Brown Landing Strip indicates the specialized transportation infrastructure of the era. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of rural Cem sites and the intricate township boundaries of Elmwood, Farmington, and Trivoli that define the intersection of Peoria, Fulton, and Knox counties.
