About this map

The W Fork Spoon River and its tributaries define the rolling landscape of this Stark County region, where the small agricultural settlements of Osceola and Elmira serve as local anchors. This modern survey illustrates a well-established rural grid system, with roads like Elmira Road and W Osceola Rd connecting long-standing family farms and fields. The area is marked by several burial grounds essential for genealogical research, including Elmira Cemetery, Osceola Cem, and Osceola Grove Cem.

To the south, Modena sits near the confluence where the E Fork Spoon River and west fork join to form the main Spoon River. Small waterways like Jack Cr and Jug Run carve through the terrain, illustrating the drainage patterns that have dictated local land use for generations. The presence of Jackson Field further emphasizes the agricultural character of this central Illinois landscape at the triple-border of Henry, Bureau, and Stark counties.
