About this map

Funks Grove serves as the primary landmark in this Central Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid meets the wooded drainage of Timber Cr. The area is bisected by the historic corridor of Old Route 66, which runs parallel to the modern interstate, tracing the legacy of mid-century American travel. The land south of the McLean Co and De Witt Co border is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the winding path of Kickapoo Creek and its many tributaries like Short Point Cr and Long Point Cr.

Genealogists will find several burial sites scattered across the townships, such as Fremont Cem, Big Grove Cem, and Halsey Cem. The terrain around Holland Field and the curious Camel Hump Rd illustrates the subtle elevation changes characteristic of this region's glacial till, while the transition between counties highlights the local jurisdictional boundaries that shaped early settlement patterns.
