2021 Map of Erie

About this map

Rock River meanders across this Whiteside County landscape, defining the character of Erie and its surrounding agricultural terrain. The river is accompanied by complex water features including Faden Slough and Hadaway Slough, indicating a low-lying, well-watered valley floor. To the north, the terrain becomes more varied around Fenton and Newton Corners, where small creeks like Lynn Cr and Rock Creek drain toward the primary river system. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural infrastructure of the region, anchored by established sites such as Erie Cem, Smack Cem, and Fenton Cem. Local aviation history is represented by Frank's Flying Service in the northeast, while the name Mineral Springs suggests the area's natural hydrological features.
