About this map

Elizabeth sits as the primary hub of this Jo Daviess County landscape, situated where the Apple River winds through the terrain of the driftless region. The village is flanked by the high ground of Terrapin Ridge to the east and the agricultural expanse of Black Hawk Farms to the south. This 2012 survey illustrates a rural infrastructure defined by a network of local roads such as S Georgetown Rd and S Apple River Rd that connect outlying homesteads to the center.

Further northeast, the small community of Woodbine marks a secondary crossroads, supported by nearby landmarks like the Woodbine Cem. The drainage patterns of the area are complex, with several tributaries including Wolf Cr, Little Rush Cr, and Hells Br cutting through valleys like Welsh Hollow. Researchers will find established sites like Saint Marys Cem west of Elizabeth, providing clear points of reference for genealogical study in this corner of northern Illinois.
