About this map

New Windsor and Alpha anchor this prairie landscape in the mid-2010s, situated where the borders of Mercer, Henry, and Knox Counties meet. The area is defined by a grid of agricultural roads, including Knoxville Rd and Knoxville Trl, which connect the small village centers to the surrounding farms. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as New Windsor Cem, Calvary Cem, and Oxford Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists studying the families of the western Illinois corn belt.

Waterways like Pope Cr and Parker Run carve low-lying drainage patterns through the otherwise level terrain. The small settlement of Griffin appears in the northwest, while the dual labeling of New Windsor and Windsor indicates the community's local identification. This survey captures the region's enduring rural character and the precise layout of streets like Mulberry St and Sycamore St in the village cores.
