About this map

The Illinois River corridor dominates the eastern landscape, carving a path past La Grange Island and Meredosia Island while defining the low-lying wetlands of Hancock Slough. In the uplands near Cooperstown, a dense network of county roads such as Co HWY-3 and Co RD-1550 connects agricultural fields and rural residences. This region is remarkably well-documented for genealogists, featuring numerous local burial grounds including Mount Zion Cem, Adams Cem, and the Lavina Henry Cem. Further south, Meredosia Lake and Twin Ponds mark the intricate water systems adjacent to the main river channel. Local transportation and infrastructure are represented by the LaGrange Lock Rd, the Sneider Landing Strip, and Kloker Airport. This 2012 record captures a community defined by its proximity to significant waterways and a landscape dotted with historical family landmarks.
