About this map

Princeton serves as the southern anchor for this Bureau County landscape, which transitions from organized town grids to the winding paths of Big Bureau Cr and its tributaries. The northern outskirts of the city are marked by historical burial grounds including Elm Lawn Cem and Woodlawn Stoner Cem, reflecting generations of local family history. Just to the north, the iconic Red Covered Bridge spans the creek, a notable landmark near the junction of rural routes like Co RD-1900.

The small settlements of Dover, Limerick, and Greenoak are scattered throughout this agricultural region, each often identified by a namesake cemetery such as Limerick Cem or Dover Cem. These landmarks, along with Mason Cem and Pioneer Cem, provide critical points of reference for genealogists. The water systems of Lime Cr, Masters Fork, and Epperson Run define the local drainage patterns that shaped early land use before the modern developments near Beaver Glenn Lake.
