About this map

Cooperstown and the riverfront landing of La Grange sit at the intersection of several Illinois counties, where the La Moine River feeds into the winding Illinois River. This area is characterized by a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Cooperstown Cem, De Witt Cem, and Lavina Henry Cem, which provide a dense record of the local lineages that settled this riverine landscape.

Transport and topography dominate the eastern half of the map, where Star Bridge crosses the northern waters and Spunky Ridge rises above the bottomlands. The floodplains are rich with hydrological features like Hancock Slough, Twin Ponds, and Meredosia Lake, while the presence of Klokker Airport in the east and the intricate network of local roads like Lagrange Lock RD and Sandy Bend RD reflect the ongoing agricultural and transit-based economy of the region.
