About this map

The Spoon River cuts a deep, winding path through this portion of Fulton County, shaping a landscape defined by sharp ridges and complex drainage systems. The village of Smithfield serves as a local hub along E State Rte 95, where the grid of W Oak St and Railroad St reflects the community's historical orientation toward regional transport. To the west, the smaller settlement of Seville sits near the riverbanks, surrounded by a network of rural roads such as N Seville RD and E Seville RD.

Family legacies are preserved in the naming of numerous landscape features and local landmarks. Several small burial grounds, including Fuller Cem, Baughman Cem, and Randall Cem, are scattered across the hillsides, often near their namesake drainages like Baughman Branch. The presence of Tarters Ferry Ln and N Tarters Ferry Ln suggests the historical importance of river crossings in an era before modern bridging dominated the Spoon River valley.
