About this map

Northville and Lippincott anchor this portion of Champaign County, where the agricultural grid meets the winding course of the Mad River. The landscape is a network of township roads and family-named cemeteries that reflect generations of local settlement. Numerous small burial grounds, such as Scott and Pullins Cem and Sullivans Cem, are scattered across the farmland, often situated near minor watercourses like Muddy Creek and Glady Creek.

A notable shift in the terrain occurs near McBeth Hill and Cranes Pond, where the drainage patterns of Kings Creek and Macochee Ditch diverge. To the south, Grimes Field represents a significant local landmark near the edge of this survey area. The abundance of named cemeteries, including Concord Cem and Kenton Memorial Cem, makes this map particularly useful for tracing early rural communities and family homesteads that have persisted since the nineteenth century.
