2021 Map of Kinsman

About this map

Verona and Kinsman anchor this agricultural landscape on the LaSalle Co Grundy Co line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage, where Waupecan Creek and its tributaries, such as Thunder Creek and Bills Run, wind through the grid of section-line roads. Near the western edge, the Hegland Cemetery serves as a quiet landmark for local genealogists, while the small settlement of Kinsman centers around its local Post Office. The names of the roads, such as W Mine Rd, hint at the industrial history of the region, even as the primary character remaines tied to the rural prairie and the winding course of Murray Slough in the southeast corner.
