2021 Map of Lanark

About this map

Lanark serves as the central hub for this portion of Carroll County, with its grid of residential streets including N Broad St and E Franklin St surrounded by productive Illinois farmland. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Rock Creek, Otter Creek, and Straddle Creek, which carve subtle valleys through the agricultural terrain. For those researching local history, several burial grounds are documented, including the Lanark City Cem on the town's southern edge, as well as the outlying Chadwick Cem and Union Cem. The road network provides evidence of early transportation routes, such as Telegraph Rd and Stone Bridge Rd, which cut across the standard section lines to follow the natural contours of the ridges and creek beds.
