About this map

The Illinois River corridor in Marshall County is defined by its sprawling backwater lakes and bottomland geography. This riverine landscape includes expansive bodies of water such as Senachwine Lake, Swan Lake, and Sawmill Lake, which dominate the western half of the map. Along the river's eastern bluffs, small settlements like Walnut Grove, Indian Spring, and Undercliff sit near the water’s edge, while the town of Florid is established further inland on the agricultural plateau.

Genealogists can find several local burial sites including Florid Cem, Murphy Cem, and Riverside Cem. The map also captures specialized transport and recreation sites, most notably the Little Sister Seaplane Base tucked against the river, and Fish N Fun Lake to the southeast. Tributaries like Clear Cr, Poole Cr, and Coffee Cr dissect the landscape, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that feed into the main river valley.
