2012 Map of Bardolph

About this map

Bardolph and the settlement at Pennington Point anchor this rural landscape in McDonough County, defined by a highly organized section-line road grid and several winding waterways. The E Fork La Moine River clips the northwest corner near Holler Bridge, while Kepple Cr, Troublesome Cr, and Camp Cr snake through the agricultural fields, occasionally disrupting the otherwise rigid path of routes like N 1150th Rd. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved among the farms, including Bardolph Cem, Mound Cem, and Pennington Point Cem. Local aviation is represented by two small airstrips, Palmer Airport and Smith Airport, which serve this sparsely populated region. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century where the primary infrastructure remains focused on transport and agriculture, with most activity concentrated along the north-south corridors like E 1700th St.
