2012 Map of Flanagan South

About this map

Waldo and the rural lands of northern McLean County are defined by a rhythmic grid of country roads and winding prairie streams. This 2012 survey shows the agricultural landscape east of Gridley, where the drainage of Scattering Point Cr and Morehouse Cr shapes the terrain between farmsteads. Local history is anchored by several long-standing burial grounds, including Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem and Gridley Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this Illinois township. The presence of Slagel Strip indicates the specialized infrastructure supporting the region's farming economy. The map also traces the meandering path of Pike Cr, providing a clear view of how these small waterways intersect with the section lines and rural routes that have organized this territory for generations.
