About this map

Farmington serves as the primary municipal hub in this western Illinois landscape, where the town layout is clearly defined alongside Oak Ridge Cem. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small, historically significant settlements like Uniontown, Middlegrove, and Gilchrist, each connected by a grid of rural routes such as Knox Highway 22 and N Norris Blacktop Rd.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds distributed throughout the townships, including Blakeslee Cem near Flea Cr and the Providence Chapel Cem further south. The physical geography is shaped by a dense network of tributaries like Littlers Cr and W Br Copperas Cr, while the presence of Midland Employee Lake suggests the region's industrial or utility history. This 2012 survey provides a clear look at the contemporary interface between these small Illinois communities and the water-carved agricultural terrain.
