2021 Map of Kewanee South

About this map

The city of Kewanee serves as the focal point of this Henry County survey, where the street grid transitions into the expansive agricultural lands of northern Illinois. A high density of burial grounds, including the Old Kewanee Public Cem, Pleasant View Cem, and Mount Olivet Cem, provides a significant record of the community's ancestral history. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of the Edwards River to the north and the various branches of Indian Cr to the south, which together shape the local topography. Higher education and regional infrastructure are represented by the Black Hawk College East Campus and the Kewanee Municipal Airport. This modern record of the area captures the intersection of three counties—Henry, Knox, and Stark—illustrating the persistent rural patterns and cemetery placements that have served these farming communities for generations.
