About this map

Tower Hill serves as the primary population center in this section of Shelby County, situated at the intersection of local routes including Herrick Rd and Seneca St. The landscape is defined by the gentle drainage patterns of Mud Cr and Robinson Cr, which create the rolling topography that breaks the geometric grid of the surrounding agricultural lands. Small crossroads communities like Henton and Dollville anchor the northern and western reaches of the survey, preserving the early 21st-century settlement pattern of rural Illinois.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, including Knobs Baptist Cem, Middlesworth Cem, and Saint Johns Cem. These sites, alongside landmarks like the Methodist Cem and Armstrong Cem, trace the generational roots of the area's farming families. The map also captures local infrastructure such as Co Hwy 16 and the residential layout of Tower Hill featuring Bissell St and Fillmore St.
