About this map

The borderlands of Carroll Co and Whiteside Co are defined by a network of rural townships and winding creek valleys in this 2018 survey. Small rural clusters such as Fair Haven and Franklin Corners anchor the northern landscape, while White Pigeon sits further south near the banks of Rock Cr. The topography is shaped by the drainages of Little Rock Cr and Sand Cr, which cut through the agricultural tablelands of the Illinois prairie.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of community burial grounds, including the Fairhaven Cem near the town center and the Clyde Methodist Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map also preserves the identity of smaller named locales like Ideal, providing a clear look at the intersection of early settlement patterns and modern county highways such as Co Hwy 8 and Whiteside Rd.
