About this map

Heyworth and Funks Grove anchor this Central Illinois landscape along the border of McLean and De Witt Counties. The area is defined by the drainage of Kickapoo Creek, which receives several local tributaries including Short Point Cr, Long Point Cr, and Timber Cr. These waterways carved the subtle relief that broke the surrounding prairie, providing the timber and drainage that influenced early settlement patterns.

Genealogists and local historians will find a concentrated cluster of rural burial sites, including Big Grove Cem, Fairview Cem, Fremont Cem, and Halsey Cem, which sit among a grid of county roads that have replaced earlier trails. The map also features aviation history at Holland Field and unique local toponyms like Camel Hump Rd, illustrating the persistence of local landmarks in this agricultural region.
