About this map

The Illinois River corridor in Fulton County anchors this 2015 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its proximity to the water and its agricultural heritage. The southeastern corner is dominated by the river's backwaters, including Liverpool Lake and Lake Chautauqua, providing a clear view of the floodplain geography near the village of Liverpool. To the north, the terrain transitions into a network of creeks and ridges where settlements like Saint David, Dunfermline, and Bryant were established.

Genealogical and local history value is found in the numerous rural burial sites scattered across the township, such as Highbridge Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem. The presence of Tampico Mounds suggests much older layers of human habitation in the region. Smaller named locales like Little America and Maples Mill dot the road network, while water features like Little Sister Lake and the industrial Sludge Pond Number 1-3A indicate the varied ways the land has been utilized for both recreation and utility.
