2015 Map of Industry

About this map

Industry serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape along the border of McDonough and Schuyler Counties. The village is surrounded by a notable density of rural burying grounds, suggesting the long-standing family lineages of the Illinois prairie. To the north and west, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Grindstone Cr, while the southern portion of the map is dissected by numerous smaller waterways like Rich Br and W Br Sugar Cr. The grid of section roads, including Hickory School Rd and Lawyers Rd, connects scattered farms and historic sites such as Standard Cem and Vance Cem. This layout reflects a deeply established farming community where local landmarks like the Pleasant Grove Cem and Industry City Cem anchor the history of the surrounding townships.
