About this map

The Spoon River carves a deep path through Fulton County, Illinois, defining the rural character of this 2015 survey. The village of Smithfield serves as a central point, while the smaller settlement of Seville sits to the northwest along the river banks. This landscape is marked by several crossing points that suggest a long history of river-based transit, including the Seville Bridge, the Tartars Ferry Bridge, and the Bernadotte Bridge.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a significant concentration of family and community burial sites scattered across the township, such as Fuller Cem, Baughman Cem, and Howard Cem. The terrain rises toward Poverty Ridge between the river's winding curves, which are fed by numerous tributaries like Barker Cr, Badger Cr, and Francis Cr. The network of secondary routes, including E Baughman School Rd and Rifle Range Rd, links these remote homesteads and landmarks.
