2021 Map of Lena

About this map

Winslow and Lena anchor this northern Illinois landscape, where the agricultural grid is deeply etched by the meandering courses of the Pecatonica River and its tributaries. The topography reveals a transition from the level uplands to the winding valleys of Waddams Cr and Honey Creek. For the local historian, the map preserves the names of numerous small burial grounds that dot the countryside, such as Christian Hollow Cem and the Robey Waite Cem, often situated near early roads like N Christian Hollow Rd. Transportation patterns show a mix of traditional township roads and small aviation facilities like Mitek Airport and Kramer Airport, illustrating how this rural Stephenson County landscape has adapted while maintaining its foundational agrarian character. Recreation and nature trails are represented by the Sweet Gum Trl, winding through the terrain near W Dunloggin Rd.
