About this map

The Illinois River corridor in Fulton County defines this landscape, where the flat river bottom meets the dissected uplands of central Illinois. Near the southern edge, the Chautauqua National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Chautauqua sit adjacent to the river, while the unusual Tampico Mounds rise above the surrounding floodplains. This area reflects a long history of settlement and burial, evidenced by numerous family and community sites including Maryville Cem, Salem Wilcoxen Cem, and High Bridge Cem.

Small industrial and agricultural hubs like St. David and Dunfermline are connected by the BNSF Railway, while the landscape is intricately carved by waterways such as Big Sister Creek and Little Sister Creek. From the crossroads of Little America to the historic Maples Mill, the map illustrates a network of rural roads like E Grain Bin Hwy and E Fiber Optic Rd that serve the farms and small towns between the river and the northern coal-mining heritage of the region.
