2015 Map of La Rose

About this map

Pattonsburg and La Rose serve as central points in this central Illinois landscape, where the flat upland prairie is deeply incised by the drainage systems of South Branch Crow Creek and Hallenback Cr. For the family historian, this map is exceptionally detailed regarding rural interments, showing numerous small burial grounds including Hawks Farm Cem, Martin Cem, and Davison Cem. The boundary between Marshall Co and Woodford Co runs through the southern half of the quadrangle, illustrating how these administrative lines intersect with the grid of country roads like Co Road 1800 E and Co Road 2300 N. The northeastern corner includes a portion of Toluca, marked by Saint Anns Cem and Saint Johns Cem, reflecting the area's established community roots and the transition from open farmland to small-town settlement patterns.
