About this map

Dana serves as the central settlement on this prairie landscape, situated at the intersection of several county lines where LaSalle, Livingston, and Woodford counties meet. The area is defined by a grid of agricultural roads, including N 2nd Rd and E 11th Rd, which navigate the gentle drainages of Long Point Cr and Diamond Cr. The map reveals a quiet rural layout with the smaller settlement of Spires appearing to the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documented burial sites, such as the Saint Petri Evangelical Cem, Bauman Cem, and Center Cem, which are tucked away near the winding banks of Mole Cr and Short-Point Cr. These features, alongside the network of numbered township roads like Co Road 2200 N, illustrate the enduring settlement patterns of this tri-county border region in North Central Illinois.
