2012 Map of Cornland

About this map

Cornland and Buffalo Hart anchor this portion of the Illinois prairie, where the landscape is defined by a rigorous section-line road grid and the winding paths of local waterways. The map illustrates a rural society organized around family and community legacies, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Turley Cem, Cass Cem, and Constant Cem. To the south, Buffalo Hart Cem sits near the small settlement of the same name, while the Po in Cornland serves as a central landmark for the town. The physical geography is marked by the slow curves of Lake Fork in the northeast and N Fork Clear Cr at the southern edge, providing a natural contrast to the straight corridors of Co Rd-300 and Co Rd-100 that facilitate local transit.
