2012 Map of Coatsburg

About this map

The unincorporated settlement of Paloma serves as the primary hub in this corner of Adams County, Illinois, centered on a small cluster of streets and the local Po (Post Office). The landscape is defined by a dense network of county roads, such as N 2300th Ave and E 1700th St, that carve the prairie into precise agricultural blocks. This grid is interrupted only by the meandering paths of S Fork Bear Creek, Honey Creek, and Brushy Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, locating several family and community burial sites including Cate Family Cemetery, Gray Mound Cemetery, and Paloma Cemetery. Further north, the private Mealiff Landing Strip and the Lubber Farm landmark highlight the region's long-standing connection to large-scale farming and rural transport infrastructure.
