2018 Map of Mazon

About this map

Mazon serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in Grundy County, where a grid of rural roads connects scattered farmsteads and family burial grounds. The West Fork Mazon River and its numerous tributaries, including Murray Slough and Johnny Run, wind through the township, defining the drainage patterns of the prairie. Smaller settlements like Verona on the western edge provide local orientation within the larger township framework of T32N and T31N. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local cemeteries, such as Brookside Cem near the town center and the Old Mazon Cem tucked along the riverbanks. The presence of Dwight Airport in the southern portion of the quadrangle highlights the modern infrastructure supporting this rural corridor, while historical family landmarks like Wheeler Cem and Ward Cem preserve the names of the region's early inhabitants.
