2015 Map of Richfield

About this map

Liberty and Richfield anchor this rural landscape in western Illinois, where family heritage is deeply etched into the geography. Numerous private burial grounds, including the Broady Family Cem and Drescher Family Cem, suggest long-standing generational ties to the agricultural parcels defined by a precise grid of county roads. The terrain is dissected by a network of small waterways like McCraney Cr and Beebe Cr, which flow south toward the boundary of Adams Co and Pike Co. Settlement patterns remain centered around small crossroads like Kingston, while man-made water features such as De Wees Lake and the Hadley Cr Number 2 Reservoir indicate modern water management efforts. This documentation provides a clear view of the area's transition from early homesteads to contemporary rural infrastructure.
