2016 Map of Kingscreek

About this map

Urbana and its northeastern rural surrounds are defined by a network of creeks and small farming settlements in this Champaign County landscape. The area is anchored by the community of Kingscreek, located near the Kingscreek Baptist Cem and the waters of Kings Cr. The map reveals a dense distribution of small family and community burial grounds, such as Platt Cem in the north near West Liberty and Mount Tabor Cem further south. This pattern of small cemeteries, including Oak Grove Cem and Mount Carmel Cem, suggests a long history of localized settlement throughout the townships. Drainage for the region is provided by Dugan Run and Macochee Cr, while the crossroads of Kennard and Mingo serve as local landmarks for those tracing historical property lines and roads like US Rte 68 and Mount Tabor Rd.
