About this map

Germantown Hills and the western edge of Metamora anchor this topographic study of Woodford County, Illinois. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Partridge Creek and Coon Creek, which carve through the terrain as they flow toward Upper Peoria Lake. This modern survey reveals a mix of established residential growth and deep-rooted rural history, evident in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the township.

Genealogists will find interest in sites such as Black Partridge Cemetery and Saint Mary's Cemetery, alongside the small settlement of Oak Ridge. The area is also notable for its recreational and natural water bodies, including Izaak Walton Lake and Lake Santa Fe. From the wooded depths of Burkett Hollow to the routes along Lourdes Church Road, the map provides a contemporary perspective on a region where suburban expansion meets the winding creek valleys of the Illinois River basin.
