About this map

Big Bureau Creek and its tributaries define the landscape of this Bureau County quadrangle, carving through the rural terrain of Walnut and Bureau townships. The map documents a deeply rooted agricultural community, centered on landmarks like the Bureau Township Sch and the Community Ch. Family-named sites such as Roggy Cem, Sapp Cem, and Aldrich Cem are scattered across the township, providing essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking the area's early residents.

Transportation and recreation infrastructure are prominently featured, including the Burlington Northern railroad corridor and the Hennepin Canal Parkway State Park in the southwest. Small-scale aviation is represented by the Naffziger Landing Strip, while the convergence of West Bureau Creek and Maple Grove Creek illustrates the complex drainage patterns of this fertile Illinois prairie during the early 1980s.
