1982 Map of Princeville
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Princeville and the surrounding Peoria County prairies are defined by a strict grid of section lines and essential rail corridors in this early 1980s study. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe and Burlington Northern railroads intersect the landscape, anchoring small agricultural hubs like Monica and Duncan. The terrain transitions from flat farmland to more varied relief where the Spoon River and Indian Creek cut through the northwest, while Jubilee Creek and Prince Run drain the southern and eastern reaches. Genealogists can find numerous family and community burial sites, including Stringtown Cem, Schiebel Cem, and Walliker Cem, which are scattered across the townships of West Jersey, Princeville, and Akron. The presence of Phils Airstrip and several local sandpits reflects the small-scale infrastructure supporting this rural Illinois community.
