Burlington Northern tracks and the Atchison Topeka And Santa Fe railway define the transit corridors of western Illinois in this early 1980s survey. These parallel rail lines serve the agricultural communities of Biggsville, Smithshire, and Media, which are linked by a network of rural roads traversing the drainages of South Henderson Creek and Ellison Creek. The landscape is a mix of productive farmland and wooded creek bottoms, punctuated by several historic burial grounds including Biggsville Cem, Salters Grove Cem, and Walnut Grove Cem.
