About this map

Jubilee College State Park dominates the central landscape of this western Peoria County region, preserving the site of one of Illinois' earliest educational institutions. The park's grounds are crisscrossed by a network of recreational paths including Plank Trl and Picnic Trl, while the historic Jubilee Churchyard Cem remains as a tangible link to the mid-19th-century episcopal college community. To the west, the village of Brimfield serves as a local hub, situated near the headwaters of Tiber Cr.

Drainage patterns are defined by Kickapoo Creek and its many tributaries, such as Jubilee Creek and the West Fork Kickapoo Creek, which carve through the undulating prairie. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating small burial grounds like Walker Cem, Oak Hill Cem, and Combs Cem. The southern edge of the map shows the transition toward the industrial outskirts of the county near Edwards and the small settlement of Olin.
