About this map

Lanark serves as the primary hub of this Illinois landscape, situated at the junction of E IL Route 64 and several local thoroughfares. The town’s grid is centered around its Post Office and extends to the Lanark City Cem on its eastern edge. Beyond the town limits, the terrain is defined by a series of waterways, including Straddle Cr to the north and the winding course of Rock Cr, which cuts through the central and southern portions of the quadrangle.

Rural history is preserved in the placement of several smaller sites, such as the Chadwick Methodist Cem in the southwest and Union Cem to the southeast. These landmarks, alongside named elevations like Cyclone Ridge, illustrate the traditional agricultural layout of Carroll County. The road network, featuring names like Telegraph Rd and the Shannon Route, reflects the historical transit corridors connecting these small prairie communities.
