2018 Map of Kent

About this map

Kent and the surrounding rural townships of Jo Daviess and Stephenson counties are defined by a network of creeks and small settlements in this 21st-century record. The landscape is deeply etched by the Plum River and the Muddy Plum River, which draw together near the village of Willow. To the north, Yellow Creek meanders past Sunnyside toward the eastern boundary. The distribution of small cemeteries, including the Kent United Baptist Cem and Saint Pauls Lutheran Cem, reflects the long-standing community centers established by early settlers in this agricultural region.
