2018 Map of Como

About this map

The Rock River and Elkhorn Creek converge in this corner of Whiteside County, anchoring a landscape defined by small clusters of settlement and an extensive rural road network. The community of Como sits at the river's edge, while Galt and Agnew follow the east-west corridor of Rte 30. This survey provides significant detail for family historians, documenting numerous burial sites such as Como Cem, East Genesee Cem, and the Our Savior Lutheran Cem. Further north, Peugh Cem and Hickory Grove Cem are preserved among the rolling agricultural plots. The map traces the winding paths of French Cr and Deer Cr as they cut through the township, reflecting a terrain where water and rail-lines historically dictated the placement of grain elevators and crossroads hamlets like Emerson and Round Grove.
