2021 Map of Hopedale

About this map

Hopedale serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Tazewell County, situated where Indian Cr meets a grid of rural routes like Stringtown RD. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Mackinaw River and its tributary, the Little Mackinaw River, which carve through the prairie to create distinctive bottomlands. Numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Hopedale Mennonite Cem and Orendorff Cem, are scattered across the township, reflecting a deep-rooted history of settlement. To the west, the community of Brownwood and the waters of Buckeye Cr sit near the Interstate corridor, while more remote reaches are marked by landmarks like Sargent Slough and McClure Cem. The map reveals a highly organized land system where established roads such as Townline RD and Kentuckiana RD separate vast tracts of farmland.
