About this map

The Pecatonica River winds through this landscape on the Illinois-Wisconsin border, connecting the riverside settlements that define the region's historical geography. In the northern portion of the map, the village of Gratiot serves as a local hub near the Gratiot Cemetery, while Riverside sits at a strategic bend in the river. The southern portion is anchored by the community of Apple River, providing a clear view of the rural road network that links local farms to the larger region.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of Highland Cemetery and Kingsley Cemetery, alongside smaller hydrologic infrastructure like the Metz Number 1 G9922 Dam and Metz Number 2 G9922 Dam along Wolf Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of named water bodies, including Trout Brook and Kentucky Creek, which likely influenced the placement of the early rural school routes like White School Rd.
