2024 Map of La Rose

About this map

La Rose and Toluca anchor this agricultural landscape across the Marshall Co and Woodford Co line. The map reveals a dense network of local cemeteries that speak to the area's early settlement history, including Saint Anns Cem, Saint Johns Cem, and the Trinity Lutheran Cem located just west of the La Rose town site. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the North Branch Crow Creek and South Branch Crow Creek, which cut through the central sections of the survey. Small settlements like Pattonsburg are documented alongside rural landmarks such as Bell Plain Baptist Cem and Hollenback Cem. This detailed record captures the modern rural infrastructure, from Co HWY 3 to the grid of county roads that facilitate the movement of goods and people across these Illinois prairies. The distribution of family-named features like Hallenback Creek and Martin Cem indicates a landscape deeply rooted in generational land ownership.
