About this map

Raritan serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in the late 2010s, where the convergence of Henderson, Warren, and McDonough counties meets. The settlement is flanked by Raritan Cem and is defined by a grid of rural routes like Trenton and 40th Ave. To the north, the small cemetery at Saint Patrick's Cem stands near the intersection of 60th Ave, marking a point of interest for local genealogy researchers.

The terrain is dissected by numerous waterways, including the winding La Moine River in the south and various creeks such as Honey Cr and Middle Cr. These natural drainage patterns dictate the placement of the section-line roads that dominate the territory. The survey provides a clear view of the land divisions and water resources that have shaped the development of these Western Illinois townships.
