2021 Map of Galva

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Henry and Knox counties is defined here by the headwaters of the S Edwards River and its tributaries, Goose Cr and Mud Run. Centered on the town of Galva, the map reveals a meticulously organized grid of section lines and rural avenues that support the local farming economy. To the northwest, the historic settlement of Bishop Hill sits near the Bishop Hill Cem, representing a significant point of interest for those studying the area's communal heritage. The transit network is a mixture of modern numbered avenues and local named routes like Bonham Rd and Trolly Rd, illustrating how historical movement patterns have shaped the modern township. Local genealogy is further served by the presence of Saint Johns Cem and Galva Cem, which anchor the surrounding rural sections.
