About this map

Kickapoo Creek and its many tributaries, including West Fork Kickapoo Creek and Fargo Run, carve a complex drainage pattern through this Peoria County landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of rural cemeteries and public lands, most notably the sprawling Jubilee College State Park in the northeast quadrant. This park features numerous recreation areas such as the Turkey Hollow Picnic Area and Red Fox Run Picnic Area.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around Kickapoo and Oak Hill, with smaller locales like Kramm and Olin situated in the southern reaches near Warsaw Run. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, pinpointing several family and community burial grounds including Saint Patrick's Cemetery, Brown Cemetery, and Walker Cemetery. The presence of the Lutheran church and cemetery near Quail Meadow reflects the enduring cultural and religious foundations of these Illinois townships.
