About this map

The Red Covered Bridge stands as a notable landmark over Big Bureau Cr in this rural landscape of Bureau County. The terrain is defined by a network of agricultural roads and winding waterways, including Lime Cr, Masters Fork, and Epperson Run. The map detail spans from the northern edges of Princeton up through several small settlements and crossroads such as Dover, Limerick, Greenoak, and Malden.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the townships, including Limerick Cem, Mason Cem, and the clustered Prairie Repose Cem, Pioneer Cem, and Dover Cem near the village of Dover. In the southern portion of the sheet, the urban grid of Princeton begins to give way to larger cemetery grounds like Elm Lawn Cem and Woodlawn Stoner Cem. The drainage patterns and road names reflect a deeply established farming community where section lines and creek forks dictate the local geography.
