2012 Map of London Mills

About this map

Spoon River meanders south through this corner of Fulton County, connecting the riverfront village of London Mills with the southern settlement of Ellisville. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape dominated by agriculture and waterway-adjacent recreation, featuring sites like Camp Wilderness and the Knox Company Conservation Club Lake. The mapping of several small family or community burial grounds, such as Landon Cem, Heartley Cem, and Flake Cem, provides essential points of reference for local genealogists tracing lineage along the river valley. Significant tributaries like Swegle Cr and Coal Cr carve through the terrain, while the name Indian Ford preserves the memory of an earlier river crossing point. The township road grid, including Knox Road 100 N, shows the persistent spatial organization of rural Illinois into the 21st century.
