2015 Map of Aplington

About this map

Aplington and the smaller settlement of Austinville serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural landscape straddling the Butler and Grundy County line. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Beaver Creek and its various tributaries, including Gran Cr and N Fork S Beaver Cr, which carve gentle valleys through the prairie grid. For genealogists and local historians, several rural burial sites are documented across the townships, such as Saint Peter's Evangelical Cem in the south and Pleasant View Cem to the east. The map's layout reflects a deeply established section-line road system, with named thoroughfares like Parriott St and Grand Ave connecting isolated farmsteads and the central community of Aplington, where a tight residential grid is established around Howard St and Gray St.
