2010 Map of Argyle

About this map

Argyle and Woodford serve as the primary anchors for this agricultural landscape, where the Pecatonica River valley's complex drainage network defines the movement of people and commerce. The village of Argyle is notably flanked by Calvary Cemetery and Woodlawn Cemetery, while the rural outskirts to the southeast are home to Lewis Cemetery. This 2010 survey highlights a terrain etched by winding waterways like Dougherty Creek and Jordan Creek, which have carved distinctive topographic features such as Puddledock Hollow and Jockey Hollow. A dense network of local routes, including Rat Hollow Rd and Duncan Hill Rd, connects family farms across the ridges and valleys. The distribution of these roads and small settlements reflects a long-standing reliance on the creek branches, such as Braezels Branch and Trotter Branch, for both drainage and the orientation of property lines in this corner of Lafayette County.
