2012 Map of German Valley

About this map

The Leaf River flows across the southern reaches of this Ogle County landscape, anchoring a series of small agricultural settlements and rural crossings. In the early 2010s, this area remained defined by its long-standing farmstead network and numerous community burial grounds, such as the Ridott Christian Reformed Cem and Silver Creek Reformed Cem. These cemeteries, often paired with namesake churches, highlight the cultural heritage of the Fairview and Egan vicinities. To the west, the village of Adeline sits near its own Adeline Cem, while the northern terrain is punctuated by Bunker Hill. The infrastructure of the region is a grid of named section roads, including E German Valley Rd and S Farwell Bridge Rd, which connect these small clusters to local landmarks like Rummel RLA Airport.
