USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Roberts and Melvin anchor this portion of the Illinois prairie in Ford County, where the landscape is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid and extensive agricultural drainage. The village of Roberts is the primary settlement, featuring a Po and the Lyman Township Cem at its northern edge. The transition from the flat uplands to the engineered waterways of the Big Four Ditch system highlights the human transformation of this fertile territory for large-scale farming.
