2018 Map of Galesburg East

About this map

Galesburg and its eastern neighbors, East Galesburg and Knoxville, anchor this Illinois landscape during a period of modern connectivity. The city of Galesburg is defined by a rigorous street grid, extending past Knox College to encompass residential developments like those along E Carl Sandburg Dr. The rural surroundings are marked by a high density of small burial grounds that reflect the long-standing agricultural and family heritage of Knox County. These include the Butterfield Family Cem, Swedish Cem, and the Alm's House Cem. Water features such as Glenwood Lake, Gale Lake, and the clusters of Purington Lakes provide a distinct contrast to the surrounding farm tracts. The drainage of Haw Cr and Middle Cr carves subtle relief into the terrain as they wind between the established townships.
