About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this landscape where the borders of Iowa and Illinois meet. The city of Hamilton serves as a focal point on the Illinois side, characterized by a structured grid of streets including Main St, Broadway St, and Keokuk St. The surrounding countryside is dotted with legacy sites such as Greenwood Cemetery and Oakwood Cemetery, which provide significant points of interest for those researching local family histories.

Further east, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural land and small waterways like Chaney Creek and Waggoner Creek. The settlement of Elvaston marks the eastern reach of the survey, connected back to the river by W Maine St. To the north, the elevations of Mt Moriah overlook the drainage of Larry Creek, while infrastructure such as Sullivan Airport highlights the more modern developments integrated into this established agricultural region.
