2021 Map of London Mills

About this map

The Spoon River meanders through the central Illinois landscape on this survey, anchoring the village of London Mills in the northeast and Ellisville to the south. The terrain is defined by a series of significant tributaries, including Cedar Creek, Swegle Cr, and Coal Cr, which carve through the surrounding uplands. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, marking the Ellisville Cem, Landon Cem, Flake Cem, Heartley Cem, and Pleasant Hill Cem. The boundary between Knox and Fulton counties bisects the region, running just south of Lake Roberts and the Knox Company Conservation Club Lake. Prominent elevations like Haney Hill overlook the floodplain, while an extensive network of rural roads, such as Co Rd 20 and E Coal Church Rd, connects the scattered farmsteads and agricultural holdings.
