2021 Map of Como

About this map

Rock River and its tributary Elkhorn Creek define the landscape of this portion of Whiteside County, marking a terrain where industry and agriculture meet along the waterways. The settlement of Como sits near the riverbanks, while the larger center of Sterling appears on the eastern edge. A network of rural cemeteries, including Hickory Grove Cem, Peugh Cem, and Our Savior Lutheran Cem, are scattered across the township, providing a clear record of local family history and early community centers. The presence of Stutzke Airport and several small settlements like Galt, Agnew, and Emerson illustrates the mid-century infrastructure and rural density that supported the region's growth. The map captures a detailed snapshot of the road network, including Rte 30, as it navigates the creeks and rolling elevations that characterize this northern Illinois landscape.
