About this map

Princeton serves as the northern anchor of this Illinois landscape, where the southern reaches of the city transition into a network of fertile bottomlands and winding waterways. The topography is defined by the significant path of Big Bureau Cr and its tributary E Bureau Cr, which meander through the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle. These watercourses are flanked by distinctive terrain features such as Owls Head and the valley of Plow Hollow.

Infrastructure and local history are marked by the presence of Piper Airport and long-standing local landmarks like Oakland Cem and Jenkins Green Cem. The road network, including the evocative Tiskilwa Bottom Rd and Lovers Lane Rd, follows the natural contours of the land and the established property lines of Bureau County. Smaller bodies of water, including Lake Arispie and Lake Rawson, further distinguish the riparian environment of the region.
