About this map

Little America and Dunfermline anchor this mapping of the Fulton County landscape, where the flatlands of the Illinois River valley meet the dissected uplands of the interior. The riverfront at Liverpool shows a complex of backwater features like Liverpool Lake and the vast Lake Chautauqua across the Mason County line. This area reflects a long history of human occupation, evidenced by the Tampico Mounds and a dense network of early burial grounds including Salem Wilcoxen Cem, Maryville Cem, and Apple Cem. The drainage patterns of Big-Sister Cr and Little Sister Creek carve through the terrain, while industry and transit are represented by the W Railroad St corridor and Sludge Pond Number 1-3A near Evelen Lake. Local place names like Maples Mill and Bryant mark the established rural centers that define this portion of the Illinois corn belt.
