2015 Map of Flanagan North

About this map

The Vermilion River and its numerous tributaries, including Short Point Cr, Scattering Point Cr, and Morehouse Cr, define this section of the Illinois prairie. The map captures the agricultural and community layout of the mid-2010s, centered around the village of Flanagan and the smaller settlement of Graymont. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally detailed with rural burial sites, documenting Mount Zion Cem, High Chapel Cem, Morris Cem, and the family-associated Walden Farm Cem. The transition from town to country is marked by the grid of rural roads and the presence of the Adams RLA Number 1 Airport, while Bradley Bridge provides a key crossing over the river in the northeast. This topography shows a landscape deeply tied to its watercourses and a stable network of small-town streets and outlying farmstead cemeteries.
