2012 Map of Galesburg East

About this map

Galesburg serves as the primary urban anchor on this 2012 survey, with the historic Knox College campus situated near the city center. The landscape transitions from the dense street grids of the city to a mosaic of agricultural tracts and water features like Rice Lake and Purington Lakes. A significant genealogical record is preserved through the numerous burial grounds documented across the terrain, including Saint Marys Cem and the Alm's House Cem. The drainage patterns are defined by the winding paths of Haw Cr and Middle Cr, which cut through the Knox County prairie. Toward the eastern edge, the small settlement of Knox and several family-named landmarks like the Butterfield Family Cem highlight the rural development that exists alongside major transportation corridors like Veterans Dr and various Knox County highways.
