About this map

The northern reaches of Kewanee anchor the southern edge of this 2018 survey, showing the city's transition into the rural agricultural landscape of Henry County. This area is defined by an intricate network of drainage infrastructure, where natural waterways like Mud Cr and the Edwards River are supplemented by man-made channels such as Acme Ditch and the Broadbent Lateral Ditch. These modifications reflect a long history of land management essential for maintaining the productivity of the surrounding prairie soil.

Genealogists and local historians will find several notable burial sites north of the city limits, including the Garden of Peace Cem and Saint Michael Cem along Kewanee Township Road. Farther west, the Pace Cem sits near Mud Cr, while the Orthodox Cem is located closer to the urban center. The northern boundary is marked by the small settlement of Hickory Point, while the eastern portion of the map features recreational landmarks such as Sauk Trail Pond and Johnson Lake.
