About this map

Seaton and the village of Bald Bluff anchor this Western Illinois landscape, where the prairie is etched by a complex network of waterways. The drainage pattern of Snake Cr and N Henderson Cr feeds south toward the larger Henderson Cr, creating a subtle topography that dictated the placement of the region’s original cemeteries and early road alignments. Family history is well-preserved here in the locations of McClure Cem, Hawkins Cem, and Belmont Cem, which stand as enduring markers of the area's agricultural heritage.

A strictly gridded road system, including routes like 300th Ave and 130th St, segments the territory, though natural features like Kissinger Lake and Goose Pond disrupt this order. In the southwest corner, the Meyer Landing Strip sits near the base of the distinctive Bald Bluff feature. This survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure at the start of the 2010s, from the confluence of Cedar Cr to the small-town streets of Seaton.
