2021 Map of Galesburg East

About this map

Galesburg and its surrounding Knox County landscape are documented here in a period of modern connectivity and deep-rooted civic history. The map highlights the central role of Knox College and the Knox County Courthouse in the city’s urban core, while the eastern expansion toward East Galesburg and Knoxville reveals a network of cemeteries that serve as a genealogical record for the area. Notable sites include the Saint Marys Cem near Glenwood Lake and the smaller Butterfield Family Cem further south. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Haw Cr, Middle Cr, and Cedar Cr, which cut through the agricultural surroundings. The road network, including Old Post Rd and Swedenburg Rd, illustrates the intersection of historic transit routes with modern corridors like Interstate 74.
