2012 Map of Buffalo Prairie
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Buffalo Prairie and the smaller settlement of Marston anchor this Rock Island County landscape, where agriculture and hydrology define the local geography. The area is intersected by a complex network of waterways, including the winding Copperas Cr in the north and the southern drainage patterns of Camp Cr and Little Camp Cr. For those researching family history in the region, several burial grounds are well-documented, such as Edgington Cem, Buffalo Prairie Cem, and Duncan Cem. The map reveals a highly structured grid of rural roads, such as 170th Ave and 135th Ave, which connect isolated landmarks like Duncan Town Hall and the private Goode Airport. The presence of the Illinois Slough and Lake Nelson further illustrates the low-lying, water-rich character of this section of the Illinois countryside.
