About this map

Kickapoo Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Kickapoo Creek and Burlison Cr, define the drainage patterns across this section of central Illinois. The landscape is a mix of small agricultural hubs and scattered homesteads, centered on the village of Heyworth. Further north, the settlement of Randolph sits near the upper reaches of the creek, while the southern portion of the map transitions into De Witt County near Bucks and Carle Springs.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the townships, such as Old Rutledge Cem and Sugar Grove Cem. These cemeteries, often located near local watercourses like Long Point Cr or Short Point Cr, mark the locations of early family farmsteads and pioneer congregations. The inclusion of Johnson Airport and the boundary between McLean and De Witt Counties provides essential context for local land use and administrative history.
