2012 Map of Oneida

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Knox County is anchored by the communities of Oneida and Altona, which sit along the northeast-to-southwest transport corridor. This 2012 survey reveals a terrain defined by a dense grid of rural roads and the meandering paths of Pilot Cr, Forman Cr, and Walnut Cr. Local history and genealogy interest is particularly concentrated in the distribution of family and community burial sites, including the Larson Cem near the northern boundary and the Old Scotch Cem situated in the southeastern corner near Lake Windsor. To the west, the elevation at Pilot Knob provides a rare point of topographical variation in this stretch of Illinois farmland. The map also documents modern land use, notably the Knox County Landfill located southwest of Oneida, reflecting the ongoing evolution of this rural district.
