2024 Map of Belvidere NE

About this map

The borderlands between Illinois and Wisconsin are defined here by a network of agricultural roads and glacial prairies. This 2024 survey documents the landscape around Poplar Grove and the historical hamlet of Beaverton Crossroads. The terrain is marked by broad open areas such as East Jefferson Prairie and Round Prairie, which have long anchored the local farming community. Waterways including Beaver Creek and both the North Kinnikinnick Creek and South Kinnikinnick Creek weave through the township, influencing the placement of early settlements like Blaine and Hunter. For family historians, the map is a vital resource, accurately locating generational burial sites such as East Jefferson Prairie Cem, Blaine Cem, and the Round Prairie Cem. Small-scale aviation is represented by Lee Creek Airport, while the proximity to the state line is reinforced by State Line Rd and the crossing into Bergen at the northern edge.
