About this map

Kewanee serves as the focal point of this Illinois survey, illustrating a dense grid of residential streets and civic landmarks including the Kewanee Municipal Airport. The town’s history is preserved through its numerous memorial grounds, ranging from the central Old Kewanee Public Cem and Mount Olivet Cem to the Wethersfield Cem on the southern edge of the core settlement. This concentration of burial sites, including the South Pleasant View Cem and the Pleasant View Cem, provides a significant resource for genealogical research in Henry County.

Beyond the urban limits, the landscape transitions into agricultural land defined by the headwaters of several drainages. The W Fork Spoon River and Indian Cr carve through the terrain, while smaller settlements like Goshen appear to the south. The rural landscape is dotted with smaller family or community plots such as Cavanagh Cem, Saxon Cem, and Himes Cem, indicating the dispersed nature of early settlement patterns near the borders of Henry, Stark, and Knox Counties.
