About this map

The North Fork Embarras River winds through this rural landscape in eastern Illinois, where small agrarian settlements and extractive industries meet. The village of Westfield serves as a primary hub in the northwest, featuring a concentrated street grid and a Trailer Park. To the south, the aptly named settlement of Oilfield points to the region's historic energy production, situated near Lambs Branch.

Evidence of local commerce and public spaces is scattered throughout, from the Gravel Pit near the river to the Roadside Park and Camp Ground in the southern reaches. The map captures the complex drainage network feeding into the Embarras, including McNary Branch and Doyles Creek, while numerous small Cem labels mark the final resting places of early residents across the townships of Parker and Westfield.
