About this map

Seaton and Little York anchor this portrait of the western Illinois prairie, where the boundaries of Mercer, Henderson, and Warren counties converge. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Henderson Creek and its various tributaries, such as North Henderson Creek and Snake Cr. These waterways create a distinct drainage pattern across the agricultural grid, leading toward notable lowlands like Goose Pond and Kissinger Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, including Mcclure Cem, Hawkins Cem, and Belmont Cem. The topography is generally level, interrupted by the significant rise of Bald Bluff in the southwest. This modern survey reflects the enduring rural character of the region, where a dense network of county roads like Co Hwy 16 and numerous numbered avenues connects scattered farmsteads and small crossroads communities.
