2015 Map of Victoria

About this map

Victoria serves as the primary hub in this portion of Knox County, defined by its traditional grid and proximity to the varied topography of Snakeden Hollow. The landscape is a complex arrangement of agricultural plateaus dissected by numerous watercourses, including Walnut Cr and Brandywine Cr. This area is notable for its extensive collection of surface water features, likely indicating the legacy of land reclamation and conservation, as seen at Snakeden Hollow Lake, Old Garage Lake, and Roundhouse Lake. For those tracing local heritage, several burial sites are documented across the township, including Victoria Cem, Smith Cem, and the more isolated Fraker Cem near Lake Calhoun. Smaller settlements like Centerville appear along the northern reaches of the county road network, maintaining their presence in this rural Illinois corridor.
