About this map

Big Bureau Creek and its many tributaries, including West Bureau Creek and Maple Grove Creek, define the drainage patterns across this Bureau County landscape. The area is characterized by a dense grid of rural roads and county highways such as Wyanet Walnut Road and Backbone Road, which serve the agricultural heartland of Illinois. This 2012 survey provides a valuable resource for genealogists, as it identifies numerous family burial grounds and small cemeteries scattered throughout the countryside.

Evidence of local heritage is preserved in the placement of the Aldrich Family Cemetery, Roggy Cemetery, and Sapp Cemetery. Other notable landmarks include the Naffziger Landing Strip in the northern section and water features like Krause Pond and Lime Creek. The map documents the modern transit infrastructure, showing how major routes like County Highway 12 and County Road 1700 interface with the natural topography.
