About this map

The Rock River carves through the southern landscape of this Whiteside County region, anchoring the settlement of Como and its adjacent Como Cem. This 2012 snapshot illustrates a predominantly agricultural interior defined by a grid of rural roads like Coleta Rd and Emerson Rd, which connect small communities and family-named landmarks. The map documents several historically significant burial grounds, including Peugh Cem in the north and Our Savior Lutheran Cem further south, providing essential data for genealogical research.

Small clusters of development such as Agnew, Galt, and Emerson are scattered along the rail and road corridors, while the presence of Stutzke Airport indicates the modern infrastructure integrated into this traditional farming area. Waterways like Elkhorn Cr and Spring Cr meander toward the Rock River, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have shaped land use in this part of Illinois for generations.
