About this map

Little York and the surrounding agricultural landscapes of Warren and Mercer counties are defined by the intricate drainage systems of Henderson Creek and Cedar Creek. This 2015 survey reveals a pattern of dispersed rural settlements, including Norwood, Shaw, and Woodvale, linked by a grid of numbered avenues and county roads. The landscape is punctuated by numerous burial sites of genealogical interest, such as Brownlee Cem and Spring Grove Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the area's long-standing farming communities.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the M.A.M. Trail Airport and the convergence of routes at Alexis Junction. Water features like Lake Warren and Roney Lake provide central landmarks in a region carved by smaller tributaries including Maids Run, Goose Run, and Duck Cr. The map illustrates the persistent intersection of natural waterways and human cultivation across this Illinois prairie segment.
