About this map

Hopedale sits at the heart of this Tazewell County landscape, characterized by a detailed network of agricultural roads and the winding paths of the Mackinaw River and Little Mackinaw River. The village layout is clearly defined near the junction of several key routes, including Co RD 700 N and Prairie Rd. To the southwest, the smaller settlement of Brownwood appears along the rail corridor, illustrating the area's development around transportation lines.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the numerous burial sites across the township. Many of these, such as Mennonite Cem, Griesemer Cem, and Orendorff Cem, are situated near watercourses like Indian Cr or the family-named Sparrow Cem. The map documents a landscape where early pioneer family names remain preserved through these cemeteries and landmarks like Sargent Slough and Iron Mountain Rd.
