About this map

Kewanee serves as the primary urban center for this prairie landscape, where the southern reaches of the city blend into the historical area of Wethersfield. The terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads and agricultural sections punctuated by numerous burial sites, reflecting generations of local history through names like Old Kewanee Public Cemetery, Wethersfield Cemetery, and Mount Olivet Cemetery.

The hydrology of the region is shaped by the Edwards River in the north and the headwaters of the West Fork Spoon River and Indian Creek further south. Significant institutional landmarks include the Black Hawk College East Campus and the Kewanee Municipal Airport, while the southern border traces the transition from Henry County into Knox and Stark Counties. This survey provides a clear view of the modern infrastructure and rural cemeteries that anchor the community's heritage.
