About this map

Griggsville occupies the high ground of the Western Illinois uplands on this 2018 survey, characterized by a grid of streets including W Walnut St and E Quincy St. The landscape drops sharply eastward into the broad bottomlands of the Illinois River, where Valley City sits near the crossing to Scott County. This transition from prairie-topped ridges to river valley is marked by steep ravines such as Hatch Hollow and Church Hollow.

Water management and conservation are central to the region's character, evidenced by the expansive Lake Pittsfield and the adjacent New Pittsfield Lake Number 2. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several established burial grounds, including Griggsville Cem and Bethel Cem. Small-scale aviation at Curry Airport and a network of rural roads like Farm Entrance Rd highlight the continued integration of traditional agriculture with modern infrastructure in Pike County.
