2021 Map of Colusa

About this map

Pontoosuc and Colusa anchor this rural Hancock County landscape, where the prairie is dissected by numerous drainages flowing toward the Mississippi River. The 2021 survey reveals a grid-dominated agricultural layout defined by an extensive network of county roads like CO Hwy 2 and E Co Rd 2700. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds, including Tull Cem, Myers Cem, and Byler Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks of the region's early settlement. The presence of Rhea RLA Airport north of Colusa adds a modern aviation element to the traditional farming district. Waterways such as Camp Cr, Grove Cr, and Spillman Cr meander through the townships, while the southern settlement of Adrian sits atop a rise between the headwaters of Deer Cr and Sheridan Cr. This modern edition provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure and land use in western Illinois.
