2001 Map of Fairbury

A notable Quarry and a Control Tower reflect the local industry and transportation infrastructure at the start of the 21st century. Genealogists and local historians can trace family lines through several rural Cem locations and township boundaries like Yates and Lawndale, which organize the patchwork of farmsteads and fields. The presence of Rooks Creek in the northwest adds to the drainage network that historically shaped the placement of these Illinois prairie settlements.
