About this map

Perry occupies the eastern edge of this Pike County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to transition from agricultural uplands toward the creek bottoms. The area is defined by the winding course of McKee Creek and its tributaries, including Middle Fork McKee Cr and the descriptively named Rattlesnake Den Cr. Small rural settlements like Morrelville and Benville serve as local anchors, while a significant number of family and denominational burial grounds, such as Hebron Lutheran Cem and Seaborn Cem, are scattered across the township lines.

Infrastructure in this portion of Illinois is represented by notable crossings such as Test Bridge and Shinneborger Bridge, alongside the Mountain Airport near the eastern boundary. This survey captures a moment in the 21st century where the traditional rural grid of roads like Co RD 01 N and TWP RD 2950 N remains the primary framework for a landscape still heavily oriented toward the drainages of Bower Cr and Dixon Pond.
