About this map

The Illinois River dictates the landscape of this Marshall County region, carving a wide valley that separates the city of Henry from the eastern uplands. The river is flanked by numerous backwater features such as Sawmill Lake, Whitney Lake, and Billsbach Lake, reflecting a dynamic riparian environment. Along the western bank, the grid of Henry is well-defined, showing residential expansion between Western Ave and the riverfront.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites scattered across the rural townships, including Henry Cem, Forbes Cem, and Sawyer Cem. To the east, the development of Lake Wildwood creates a distinct contrast with its winding roads like Breezy Point Ct, while the surrounding agricultural lands are etched by numerous drainage ways such as Sandy Creek and Strawn Cr. The map captures the meeting of traditional river-valley settlement and modern residential development.
