2015 Map of Spring Hill

About this map

The settlement of Spring Hill sits near the northern edge of this Illinois landscape, where the Rock River and Hadaway Slough define the riverine topography. The map illustrates a rural area divided between Whiteside and Henry counties, characterized by a grid of agricultural roads such as Town Hall Rd and N 3000th Ave. For those researching local history, the distribution of small burial grounds provides significant clues to early settlement patterns, including Sharon Cem, Loraine Cem, and Bowman Cem. The southern half of the quadrangle is marked by complex drainage networks like Big Slough Ditch and Blue Joint Ditch, which underscore the region's managed hydraulic history. Sharon Church and the isolated Pink Prairie Cem stand as distinct landmarks among the extensive farmland that dominates this Illinois river valley region.
