2024 Map of Harmon

About this map

Harmon serves as the central point of this agricultural landscape in southern Lee County, situated near the intersection of several local routes such as Co Hwy 15 and Sterling Rd. The village includes a Po and is flanked by local burial grounds, including Greenwood Cem and Holy Cross Cem. This modern survey reveals a highly managed hydrological system designed to support the region's farming heritage. The natural course of the Green River and Walnut Creek is supplemented by an extensive network of drainage infrastructure, most notably the Main Ditch and the Winnebago Ditch. These man-made channels crisscross the prairie, redirecting water from smaller tributaries like Coon Creek and Fivemile Branch. To the west, the settlement of Van Petten sits along the intersection of Van Petten Rd and Eakle Rd, marking the edge of a township defined by its grid of named country roads.
