About this map

Winslow and Lena anchor this corner of Stephenson County, where the agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pecatonica River and its numerous tributaries. The terrain transitions from the river lowlands to the rolling heights of Sanders Hill Rd in the northeast. A significant portion of the central landscape is dedicated to recreation at Lake Le-Aqua-Na State Park, centered around Lake Le-Aqua-Na. This area serves as a local hydrological hub where Waddams Cr and Cedar Cr drain the surrounding fields.

Local history is deeply embedded in the rural infrastructure, evidenced by a high density of burial grounds including Christian Hollow Cem, Manny Cem, and Saint Joseph Cem. Small aviation sites like Kramer Airport and Mitek Airport dot the countryside, while the naming of thoroughfares such as Old Mill Rd and Galena Rd reflects the early transportation and industrial corridors of the region. The map captures the continued significance of family-named landmarks like Red Shed Field and Waite Cem within the modern township grid.
