About this map

Kickapoo Creek and its numerous tributaries, including Prairie Creek and Timber Creek, define the drainage of this central Illinois landscape. The 1981 survey illustrates the rural infrastructure spanning the border of McLean and De Witt counties, where the Illinois Central Gulf railroad runs parallel to Interstate 55 through the settlement of Funks Grove.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across these townships, such as Fremont Cem, Big Grove Cem, Fairview Cem, and Halsey Cem. The presence of small private aviation facilities like the Quinton Landing Strip and Holt Landing Strip, alongside local landmarks such as Funks Sch and the Townhall in Funks Grove, provides a detailed look at the community and agricultural layout before late-20th-century developments further altered the region.
