About this map

North Hampton and North Chillicothe anchor this modern survey of Peoria County, where the landscape transitions from the agricultural uplands of Blue Ridge toward the waters of Upper Peoria Lake. The map reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, including Blue Ridge Cem, North Hampton Cem, La Salle Cem, and Mooney Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this Illinois River valley region.

The hydrology of the area is defined by numerous drainage systems such as Henry Cr and Senachwine Cr, which feed into the larger river system. Local recreational and agricultural landmarks like the Arrowhead Country Club Lake, Staab Pond, and the Pine Grove Tree Farm illustrate the contemporary land use patterns. Transportation routes like E Galena Military Rd point to the area's older history as a transit corridor connecting regional settlements.
