2021 Map of Compton

About this map

Compton serves as a central hub in this agricultural landscape of eastern Lee County, where the village's grid is defined by W Walnut St and W Cherry St. The surrounding countryside is dotted with small settlements like The Burg and Roxbury, alongside numerous rural burial grounds that speak to the area's pioneer roots, including Mélugin Grove Cem and the Brooklyn Lutheran Cem. The terrain is drained by a network of waterways such as Big Bureau Cr and Willow Cr, which meander through the prairie sections. Transport and local industry are marked by several private airstrips like W Davis Airport and Earl Barnickel Airport, reflecting the modern integration of aviation into this traditional farming district. The boundary with LaSalle County at the southern edge near Welland highlights the regional connectivity maintained by an extensive road network from Chicago Rd to Stainbrook Rd.
