About this map

Little York serves as the primary hub of this Western Illinois landscape, situated at the intersection of several local routes in Warren County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Henderson Creek, Middle Henderson Cr, and N Henderson Cr, which carve through the agricultural tablelands. This drainage pattern shaped the placement of smaller nineteenth-century settlements and rail-oriented locales like Norwood, Alexis Junction, and Shaw.

Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved across the townships, such as Little York Cem, Cedar Creek Cem, and Brownlee Cem. The map also captures specialized transport features like the M A M Trail Airport and follows the meandering path of Cedar Creek toward the southern boundary. The inclusion of Woodvale and numerous rural section roads provides a clear record of the contemporary land use and property divisions that have persisted in this corner of the state.
